Ilex verticillata (winterberry) Unsexed

Winterberry Holly is a gorgeous plant for winter landscapes. It is also a very valuable food source when things become scarce for birds and wildlife. You often see winterberry branches in holiday decorations. They respond well to pruning, but you should have one male for every dozen or so females if you want a good show of berries!
