Winterberry vs Rocky Mountain Juniper

The Rocky Mountain Juniper is a columnar and slightly rounded evergreen shrub that features foliage with colours that range from a light green to a dark blue-green. It produces round, dark-blue berry-like cones that ripen in the second year.

Rocky Mountain Junipers have great ornamental value due to its varying colours and can attract wildlife into your yard as the “berries” are favored by birds.

Winterberry is a small shrub that produces large quantities of bright red berries that remain on the plant through the fall and into the winter. Adding this shrub to your yard will give it a unique splash of color and attract birds, especially after the leaves drop.

Note: although the foliage is attractive on its own, you need at least one male plant near your female plants or they won't produce berries.
