    Ilex verticillata 'Berry Heavy Gold' is a very impressive winterberry. The berries are larger than most Winterberries I've grown. The color is already yellow in August. This plant is new for me and is only about one foot tall. It's surprising to already see such good production of berries on them. I highly recommend 'Berry Heavy Gold.'
