Where can I find a place to purchase this tree? The Park Seed catalog carried this plant a year ago. I went to order it & they were out. I tried calling their catalog service & they didn't seem to know a thing about it. I received their catalog & it is no longer in there. I saved the page to the old catalog & figured I would try to order it this year. A description of it would be IIex verticillata Berry Nice. For a low maintenance tree with suberb fall & winter color you cannot better Berry Nice. The natvie Winterberry Holly is deciduous, it leaves turning from deep green to yellow in autumn before dropping and it offers masses of showy bright red berries throughout fall & winter that stand out like fiery flames in the bleakest winter landscape. 1 quart container Z3-9; winter;sun part shade H:6-8" W:3-5' $9.95 ea. If anyone would know where I could purchase this tree I would greatly appreciate it.

Obywan59, Thank you for the nice resources. I will contact these two places on Monday. One place advises a mate that blooms at the same time to cross pollinate. The other place I will have to ask them for sure maybe they have a male/female tree? Either way I am happy to have found two places that handle these beautiful trees. Thanks again. Bonny
