Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A wonderful and heavy fruiting dwarf 3-4' winterberry that becomes absolutely covered with bright, glossy red berries that cover the branches and hold on long after leaf drop, a perfect choice for gardeners without a lot of space; Mr. Poppins is the pollinator, one male for up to seven females. S/M PP 25835
This dwarf Winterberry 'Berry Poppins' brings color and an abundance of red fruit to the winter garden that provides food for the birds during the cold season. It's perfect for the small space gardener and for those tight spaces where nothing else seems to grow. Winterberry is a native species to New England and prefers wet areas but will grow in most soil types as well. Besides the benefit of winter color, 'Berry Poppins' flowers in early summer and makes a great pollinator plant.
