Berryific Holly (Ilex x meserveae 'Berryific') is an exceptional holly shrub featuring glossy, deep green foliage paired with an impressive display of bright red berries each fall and winter. This unique cultivar cleverly grafts both male and female branches onto one plant, guaranteeing a plentiful berry display even in small gardens. Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, its dense, pyramidal shape creates striking visual interest and serves as a robust backdrop for perennial borders. Hardy and resistant to deer and rabbits, Berryific Holly provides reliable structure and seasonal beauty year-round.
Bringing a living Berryific Holly into your home during the holidays adds authentic charm and warmth that artificial decorations simply can't match. This holly makes an excellent gift, as recipients can plant it outdoors after winter to enjoy for years to come. With lush foliage and dazzling berries, it refreshes indoor spaces during the darkest months, connecting your family and guests to the natural beauty outside. Once warmer weather arrives, it transitions smoothly to an outdoor garden, enhancing your landscape long after the holidays have passed.
Holiday Berryific Holly Care
Keep your Berryific Holly healthy indoors by placing it near bright, indirect sunlight in a cool room with temperatures between 60-70°F. Maintain consistent moisture in the soil without allowing it to become waterlogged, and increase humidity levels with occasional misting or by placing a water tray nearby. Check frequently and let the top inch of soil dry out slightly before watering again.
As spring arrives, gradually acclimate Berryific Holly outdoors over a week or two by placing it outside for progressively longer periods each day. Choose a sunny location in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and dig a planting hole twice the size of the root ball. Position the holly so that it is level with the surrounding soil, fill the hole, and water thoroughly to establish a strong root system, finishing with a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
