Believe it or not, winterberries are deciduous holly. They don't look like what most people think of when they think of holly. the leaves are soft and drop off in the late fall leaving the branches encrusted with red berries. You have to plant one male for every ten females. I have three females - Winter red and two Sparkleberries. The male is kind of in the corner because he doesn't get the berries but you need his pollen lol! he is an Appollo. I think I have a picture of one of the females before it drops its leaves.
