Mr. Poppins® Winterberry

Choose Mr. Poppins® Winterberry if you’re planting compatible female winterberries and need reliable pollination. The tradeoff is simple: this male plant helps berries happen, but it will not produce the winter fruit itself.

Buy This If

• You have female winterberries
• Your soil stays somewhat moist
• You want a compact native shrub

Skip This If

• You want red berries on this plant
• You need privacy screening
• You are planting only one winterberry

PGNE Report Card

Our Experience

At PGNE, we’d typically recommend buying the male at the same time as the female winterberries so the planting works from the start, instead of troubleshooting poor berry set later.
