It is possible to grow winterberries from seed, and, when growing in an undisturbed area, they will do this naturally. When the berries drop to the ground, they ferment and the seeds readily germinate. Various birds use the berries for food as well, dispersing the seeds as they go.
This shrub grows at a medium rate, with height increases of 13–24" per year.
Winterberry is very easy to grow. It is hardy in zones 3 through 9. The shrubs range in height from 5 to 15 feet depending on the cultivar. They will grow in partial shade but produce more berries when grown in full sun.
Winterberries are quite shade tolerant, but in very dark conditions, flowering and fruiting can be significantly diminished, or may not occur at all. We recommend a minimum of four hours of sun each day, or filtered light throughout the day, for the best display.. . . . .364011236045!]0000000000000009783314145500!]
