Winter Bounty Holly

The Winter Bounty Holly is a superb hybrid holly with an enormous display of dark red berries. These cluster in huge bunches all along the stems, making a spectacular show during late fall and winter. This vigorous tree soon grows to be 14 feet tall or more, but it remains narrow, just 6 feet wide, only later becoming broader if left untrimmed. The large leaves resemble Cherry Laurel, and they are glossy, mid-green and free of spines. If you love berries but hate prickles, then this is the holly tree for your garden. It can be grown as a lawn specimen, as foundation planting, in shrub beds, or as a beautiful screening plant.

• One of the biggest berry displays of any holly tree
• Large berries of a rich true red
• Smooth, glossy, spineless leaves
• Vigorous and fast growing
• Narrow, upright form is ideal for smaller spaces

Grow the Winter Bounty Holly in light partial shade, or deeper, dappled shade. It grows well in full sun in cool zones and on moist soil. It will grow well in any well-drained soil, and it appreciates fertilizer and mulch for the best crops. It is normally not bothered by pests or diseases, and this vigorous tree is easy to grow almost anywhere. For the best berry production, plant a male holly such as Blue Prince, nearby. With its dense, upright form it rarely need trimming, and this should be avoided for maximum berry production.
