How long before a male holly starts producing pollen
I need either a Jim Dandy or Apollo "winter berry" holly (aka a male) to
pollinate my new "Berry Nice" winter berry holly. The only ones I can find locally are much bigger than I can easily plant with out expanding a bed that I really don't want to touch for a few years. Cheryl |

Pretty much any male holly within a few hundred yards will probably do. So have a wander around your area and see if there is any male holly around rather than taking up space unnecessarily in your garden. I suspect there are none - I live in a area with large yards that are (sadly) mostly grass. I don't mind adding another shrub, I just really didn't want to work around where I'd locate it now - The next expansion of that area is a year or so away. I did end up contacting the America Holly Society. Since most commercially available hollies are clones, they start blooming and producing pollen as very young plants. So next year, I'll find a Jim Dandy for my garden C |
