Jim Dandy is a compact cultivar of our native deciduous winterberry
hollies. In the wild they are found in swampy sites and stream margins in the
eastern United States.

Jim Dandy is a slow grower to about 6 feet high and 8 feet wide. It is the male cultivar for the female Berry Heavy and Berry Nice cultivars and must be planted within 50 feet of those plants for effective pollination.

Prune in spring for shape. While best suited to moist sites with morning sun and afternoon shade, it grows well in moderate soils but poorly in alkaline soils. It is suitable for planting as a hedge or screen, or as
part of a rain or native garden.
