Karl shared his insight into growing stellar Ilex verticillata (Winterberry Holly); Symphoricarpos (Snowberry); Philadelphus (Mock Orange) and Hydrangea paniculata in this Live chat with Q&A. 

Learn about why you don't have to worry about deer eating your Ilex verticillata, but maybe watch out for moose; how to identify the sales potential for different colors of berries in your local market; and how many stems to expect on your Symphoricarpos year after year. 

If you want perennial berry branches of your own, shop bare root Ilex verticillata, Symphoricarpos, Callicarpa and more at farmerbailey.com.
