You will not be sorry to add winterberries - read up on them, and find appropriate pollinating partners, so that you get the full fruiting flourish.

Where in the world is Ladoga? I'll look it up in the map book...

And...it's not too far from Lizton! I have bought scads of plants from a woodies nursery there. You should be able to grow Ilex verticillata just fine, if your soils are even remotely similar.

You should also have as many other species as you can cram into your landscape, and work on converting nearby residents as you inevitably run out of space. The birds will appreciate a neighborhood full of choices, and people will realize that their efforts have value beyond treats for the eye.

Cornus, Amelanchier, Viburnum, Sambucus, Malus, and so many more will diversify the seasons that will be fruitful - for you and the birds.

Here is some of the display provided by Viburnum dilatatum.
