In addition to early blooming flowers and winter vegetables, there are many types of evergreens.

Here’s everything you need to know in order to successfully care for your winterberry.
What are winterberries?

A winterberry tree is a small tree or shrub in the holly family. Ilex verticillata is the botanical name, but it's typically easy to find under the common name winterberry. True to its name, this shrub produces red or orange berries in late fall and winter. Although it is a type of holly, it doesn't have the glossy, spined leaves characteristic of English holly. Instead, it has long, oval leaves that are a lighter shade of green and don't spines. These plants are also dioecious, meaning the male and female flowers appear on different plants. That means if you want to see berries, you'll need at least two winterberry trees.
