Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Although winterberry will tolerate some shade, fruit production is best in sunny locations, but do not allow plants to dry out, especially during hot summer droughts.   Ilex verticillata plants are dioecious (plants are either male or female). Any necessary pruning should be done soon after the flowers are finished, but keep in mind that berry production will be diminished.  Branches of berries are decorative and are frequently used in flower arrangements.

Additional Notes about Little Goblin® Orange Winterberry:


Ilex berries can be harmful; they contain an alkaloid similar to caffeine.
