Plant of the Month: Winterberry
Winterberry holly is a deciduous shrub that is native to the eastern part of North America. It brightens up a dreary landscape because this plant produces bright globose red berries that are able to withstand the winter weather. Winterberry is also associated with the Christmas holiday and is used to adorn evergreen decorations (e.g. wreaths) to add some color. It is also special because it is a dioecious plant, which means that there are male and female plants.
