Ilex (Winterberry) - Deciduous Hollies - verticillata Berry Nice



Common Name: Winterberry
Hardiness Zones: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Description: A multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub that will mature into a lovely rounded shape, 6-8 feet tall by 5-6 feet wide. This female variety produces dense clusters of large deep red berries. Like all winterberry hollies, the stems can also be cut and kept in a vase with no water for months.

For maximum fruit set, 'Berry Nice' needs a male Ilex verticillata nearby. We recommend 'Jim Dandy' because it blooms as the same time as 'Berry Nice.' One male is sufficient to pollinate 8 females.

Ilex verticillata 'Berry Nice' will thrive in full sun, but will also tolerate partial shade. 'Berry Nice' prefers a slightly acid soil that is moist, but it does just fine in normally moist soil. Ilex verticillata will tolerate very wet, boggy soils. Pruning is rarely necessary, but should be done in early spring just before the new growth begins. From 2 gallon pots.
