Selected for loosing it leaves early so you can enjoy its spectacular fall and winter show of large, bright red-orange berries. We evaluated the original mother plant for years and came to the conclusion that it rivals all other winterberry selections for its sheer mass of fruit. The bright red fruit make for great indoor arrangements and really brighten up the winter landscape. Planting a male selection in near proximity greatly improves the fruiting of Winterberry.
