$ 62.00
Looking for winter interest? Possumhaw Holly is an attractive deciduous shrub or small tree that flourishes in the winter. The interest is created by bright red berries that persist on the bare branches of the female plants. After the leaves drop, the plant becomes a berry explosion that takes your breath away. It is a bird magnet from winter through early spring.
