2 MONTHS until Christmas! Can you believe it? I can’t 🤪😊🎄 Winterberry Holly - {Ilex verticillata} We try to do everything REAL here at the farm and that includes the berries we add to some of our wreaths. Something that not everyone might realize, however, is that there are many different types of Winterberries, both male and female. Only the female Winterberries will produce berries and they need a male Winterberry nearby to do so for best pollination. #christmastreefarm #winterberryholly #I

Meet our Holiday plant of the week: Winterberry (Ilex verticillata) is a deciduous holly plant known for its vibrant red berries that persist throughout the winter. This native North American shrub is popular for its ornamental value during the colder months, offering a burst of color when other plants are dormant. The berries are a valuable food source for birds during the winter season. | Cheekwood
