Deciduous Holly

3-gallon conservation grade
 
Deciduous Holly, commonly known as winterberry, is a native shrub or small tree valued for its bright red berries that persist through winter after the leaves have dropped. It typically grows 6–15 feet tall and thrives in moist soils, making it well suited for wetlands, streambanks, and rain gardens. Deciduous holly provides important food for birds and other wildlife during the colder months, while its berries add striking seasonal color to the landscape. Unlike evergreen hollies, it requires both male and female plants for berry production, making thoughtful planting key to its ornamental and ecological success.
