Berry Heavy® winterberry holly produces lots of bright red berries that really shine in the fall and winter landscape as a red berry holly bush. Winterberry holly is a deciduous variety of holly, which means it loses its leaves in the fall. However, this makes that vivid fruit even showier. The berries can also be cut for use in floral arrangements, but are not edible for humans. Need a male (Jim Dandy) and female (Berry Heavy) to produce berries.
