Ilex verticillata 'FARROWBPOP'
Choose Berry Poppins® Winterberry for wet, acidic areas where you want red fall and winter berries; the tradeoff is that you must plant a male pollinator nearby for fruit.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The red berries carry the display after the leaves drop, but fruiting depends on a compatible male pollinator. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace and can slowly form colonies where conditions suit it. |
| Maintenance | B | It is not fussy in moist acidic soil, but you need to plan for pollination and occasional shaping. |
| Deer Resistance | C | This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Its compact habit works well in tighter shrub beds if you allow room for the planting to widen. |
| Screening Value | D | It drops its leaves and is meant for berries, not privacy. |
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend planting Berry Poppins® in groups with Mr. Poppins® worked into the layout, especially in moist acidic areas where many shrubs struggle.
| Mature Height | 3.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 3.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 3a-9b |
| Spacing | 4 ft |
| Sun | full sun to partial shade |
| Moisture | moist to wet |
| Growth Habit | Upright, rounded, multi-stem |
Yes, plant Mr. Poppins® nearby or you should not expect reliable berries.

Yes, moist to wet acidic soil is one of the best reasons to use it.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
