Description
Apollo Winterberry Holly shrubs are male plants used to pollinate female winterberry hollies so they can produce red berries. One male can pollinate up to 10 female plants depending on how close they are planted together. If planted in a row, it is best to plant 1 male plant for every 4 female plants.
Apollo Holly shrubs are deciduous, losing their leaves in winter.
