Ilex verticillata 'Winter Red'
Choose Winter Red Winterberry Holly if you want native winter berry color in a damp or naturalized area. The tradeoff: it drops its leaves and needs a compatible male winterberry nearby for berries, so it is not a year-round privacy hedge.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The berry display is the reason to plant it, especially where it can be viewed after leaf drop. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a useful pace when moisture is steady, but it is not an instant screen. |
| Maintenance | B | Routine pruning is light, but you do need to plan for pollination and allow its natural shape. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer browse winterberry, especially young plants and tender stems, so protect it or choose another shrub where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C | It wants room to grow naturally and usually looks crowded in tight foundation spaces. |
| Screening Value | D | Because it is deciduous, it should not be used where year-round privacy is the main goal. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Winter Red for damp edges, rain-garden style plantings, and winter views from the house. Plan the male pollinator before planting; without it, the berry show may disappoint.

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…
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!
