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.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
