Adaptable to wet soils, does well in light and heavy soils. First class pick for planting in saturated areas.
It is best to avoid pruning winterberry hollies, except to remove whole branches for cut flowers or other decorating. Regular maintenance pruning or cutting back, however, will impact the number of flowers and the quantity of fruit that the plant sets. Little pruning should be required, though very old branches can be removed in early spring if they are no longer producing vigorous growth.
According to the Humane Society of America, Ilex berries can be toxic to pets. This is means that the plants are generally identified as having the capability for producing a toxic reaction.

Now that I have grown this plant for a few years in my garden, it's one shrub I wouldn't ever be without. All sorts of pollinators swarm the tiny flowers in early summer, and its persistent fruits are snapped up by birds in early spring. This is the only plant in my garden that has such vibrant color over the long winter. I wish I had room to plant a dozen of them!
