I planted heaths, red twig and yellow twig dogwoods for winter interest. For late winter interest I planted salix gracilistyla Mt. Aso, which I am excited to see how it does. I also planted 2 Berry Poppins and 1 Mr. Poppins in 2019. They were tiny quart size plants and I have yet to see berries. I think the first year they were planted in an area that didn-t have enough sun and there was a pest problem. That fall, I potted them back up and gave them good sun and kept them together. They grew bigger and the foliage recovered nicely but still no berries. I think they are still recovering (and perhaps still too young. Any thoughts?

This video is extremely timely and helpful! Two years ago we purchased a male and female at our local nursery. Last year there were berries but they turned white powdery and disappeared. When you punctured them they bled red juice. This year the foliage is healthy but I don-t see any berries. So frustrating! Can-t imagine what the problem is as the male is only 10 feet away. I would love to see a video this winter of your garden area so that I can find out what nine bark looks like through the winter as I am considering adding that to our garden.

I think in general nurseries should give more information about what they are selling. I bought blueberries and raspberries plants but no information about how long will it take to produce. Now i found out blueberries plants also need male and female bush to bear fruit. I have absolutely no idea what kind of plant I have. Maybe that way, us, first time gardeners will be more successful with our garden.

very informative. I planted three females, 2 of the same on the smaller size last year. The larger one got berries this year as I planted a male also. Is it possible I need to plant another male for the two smaller ones as they did not get any berries as I thought they all seemed to bloom at the same time. I read that Jim Dandy is good for both early and late bloomers which would cover me?
Thanks

You asked for our own winter interest plant so in my zone 6 Northwest garden, the most outstanding and always commented on passer- byes is Pinus Contorta Chief Joseph, zone 5-8. I know you do not have a lot of conifers in your garden but this is a spectacular golden pine that for the most part grows slowly and it's color is only in the winter. A golden beacon through the snow.

Hey Danelle, can you do a video explaining tulips? I've only tried growing them once or twice with not alot of success. I'm also confused about the different bloom times and height differences. I want to order some tulips and other bulbs now, to plant them in fall, but I'd like to figure some of these things out first to get the best display. at the right times --

I planted Berry Poppins and Jim Dandy in the garden. Jim Dandy is pretty big but very handsome small tree. Personally, I like blue holly more since the glossy evergreen leaves, except sometime the deer really munch on them in the late winter or early spring when the food is very limited. Another my favorite winter berry plants are rugosa rose hips.

My friends parents have those, it's as you said 15' tall and wide, it's loaded with berries. I have a white flowering Crape Myrtle that has peeling bark, I just love it. My mother planted it in the late 80's, it's ginormous with sprawling branches, I guess it's 25' tall and around 20' wide now, it's certainly makes a statement in the back yard.

My Berry Heavy gold and red are beautiful now in upstate NY zone 5b. As are my Early Amethyst beauty berry and pink coral berry. The red twig dogwood are also beautiful in the winter here. Thank you for providing so much valuable gardening information. I love when you capture the birds in your videos.

Those are very pretty Danielle! I have the old fashioned Blue Prince and Princess (all in 1 - not sure what those are called) and another Blue Princess. If I get a Berry Poppins or a Little Goblin (female) would I have to get Mr. Poppins or Little Goblin (male) as well?

We planted our winter berries in the summer. Male and female. No berries this year. Could it be because they are too young or because possibly they weren't together at the nursery before we got them?

Thanks for showing little goblin orange! So cheerful! I have a spare Jim Dandy that I-ve had to relocate which I believe will be a compatible pollinator for the goblins: )

I planted a winter berry this spring, but it dried out and died. I-m thinking of planting a Magic Berry Snowberry instead, they-re really pretty for flower arranging too

Ornamental grasses are my favorite for winter interest. They add so much to a space year round. Love the look of this winter berry - will definitely be looking into them now!

I love winter berries but my yard is very dry and pretty shaded so I-m not sure they would do so well! -

I would think the planting tag should explain all the details. The Winter berry is a very beautiful plant.
