Black-alder

Plant in moist to wet, acidic (pH 4.5–5.5), humus-rich soil in full sun to partial shade; winterberry is a spectacular native deciduous holly that produces brilliant red (or yellow or orange in some cultivars) berries that encrust every branch after leaf drop in fall, providing dazzling winter interest from October through February when birds finally strip them. It grows naturally in swamps, stream banks, and wet woodland margins and performs best with consistent moisture. This species is dioecious — you must plant both male and female plants, matching cultivars that bloom at the same time, to get berries. Named female cultivars like 'Winter Red', 'Sparkleberry', and 'Red Sprite' (compact) are widely available; match them with the appropriate male. Mulch to maintain soil moisture and acidity. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 48–72 дюймів Висота: 60–120 дюймів Дні до схожості: 60–90 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 2–7°C

Match the male cultivar's bloom time to the female's — choose male cultivar recommendations from the nursery that match your female selection.
