It has a dense, rounded form and dark green, serrated leaves that turn yellow in the fall before dropping.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe most notable feature of Winterberry is its clusters of berries that appear in the fall. The berries are a brilliant red color and provide a striking contrast against the bare branches during the winter months. They are highly attractive to birds and can add a festive touch to the landscape.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinterberry thrives in moist to wet soil conditions and is often found growing near wetlands or in low-lying areas. It prefers full sun to partial shade and is relatively low-maintenance once established. Pruning is typically done in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and remove any dead or overcrowded branches.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 537px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 261.188px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 260.812px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan href=\"\/collections\/shrub\" title=\"Shrub\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShrub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 261.188px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigins:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 260.812px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEastern N.
