Holly Shrubs Berryific

#3 gallon pot.

Berryific Holly (Ilex × meserveae 'Berryific') is a beautiful evergreen shrub known for its glossy, dark green foliage and abundant bright red berries that provide stunning color throughout fall and winter. This unique variety combines male and female holly plants in one container, allowing for reliable berry production without needing a separate pollinator. Its dense, upright, pyramidal growth habit creates excellent year-round structure. Growing approximately 10–12 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide, it makes an attractive addition to larger landscapes.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-draining, slightly acidic soil, it is cold hardy and generally low maintenance. Ideal for privacy screens, hedges, specimen plantings, and winter-interest gardens.

Maintenance Tip: Water regularly during establishment, then during extended dry periods. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove damaged branches. Apply mulch to retain moisture and protect roots, and fertilize with an acid-loving fertilizer in spring if needed.
