Detailed Information
Winterberry Holly (Ilex verticillata) is native to **eastern North America**. Specifically, it’s found from:
* **Southeastern Canada**
* **Eastern United States**: From Maine south to Florida, and west to Missouri and Wisconsin.
The cultivar ‘Chrysocarpa’ retains these same native origins. It’s simply a selected variety of the species chosen for its specific traits (in this case, yellow/orange berries). Therefore, its *ancestral* geographical location is still eastern North America.
