Winterberries found growing in the woods are BIG shrubs, tall and wide. Great for the woods but not so great for small home gardens. The Berries on RED SPRITE really are very large and I think the largest of all the winterberry types. You can order from Forest Farm with confidence. I have ordered many times from them although never winterberries. But I have lots of viburnums from Forest Farm and also Mountain Ash. You will absolutely love the RED SPRITES.
