"Center Park has several Winterberries and we love them all. The straight species get quite tall, especially in shady locations." -Alison Saylor.
"A pollinator and bird favorite. Mine produce abundant and beautiful berries that disappear before the fall is over; if it's to support waxwings and robins I'm happy to share." -Sally Ishizaka
