Planning to install this yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for DIY installations. These sizes do not require any offloading equipment.
Any tree or shrub that is sized by HEIGHT or CAL (Caliper- size where the trunk meets the root flare) is delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap (B&B). They are typically 1000+ LBS per plant. They will require heavy equipment to install. Installation is not included in the price of the plant. We highly recommend adding the ServeScape ‘One-Click’ Installation service (must be added at the cart page) for material of this size, or working with a contractor that can provide equipment for installation.

For any tree or shrub that is sized larger than 10’ HEIGHT or 3” CAL, the customer will be required to provide offloading equipment or a contractor to offload unless paying for installation through ServeScape. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor can have equipment ready upon your plant's arrival!
**Dormancy Note - This plant is currently dormant for the winter! It is available for purchase! Your delivered plant may be dormant, or showing very little top growth. However, you can still plant! These plants are putting all their energy into root production, so they will be ready to thrive in the spring! If you have any issues with your plant the following peak season, you can fill out our return request form to request a replacement plant.

Winterberry typically grows as a large shrub or small tree, reaching heights of 6 to 15 feet (1.8 to 4.5 meters) with a similar spread. It has a dense, rounded form and dark green, serrated leaves that turn yellow in the fall before dropping.

The 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.

Winterberry 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.
