Description
Because his season of bloom overlaps the Ilex verticillata and Ilex serrata cultivars, ‘Apollo’ is the stud of choice for many female winterberry hollies, such as Winter Red. He grows in an upright rounded shape to around 6 to 8 feet tall and equally as wide and will thrive in sun or part shade. Leaves are a lustrous medium green with tips of new growth an attractive burgundy color. Apollo is essential for enjoying the female berry bling!
Note: Apollo will pollinate five or more female winterberry hollies that are growing within 100 feet. That said. closer is better.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and equally as wide, the Apollo Holly is excellent for use to pollinate female winterberry hollies, such as Winter Red and other Ilex verticillata and Ilex serrata cultivars. One Apollo can pollinate 5 or more females growing within 100 feet so only one of this super stud is needed for an average size yard. Excellent for use in moist areas or along the banks of streams, ponds and other bodies of water. A fine addition to bird gardens, berry gardens, red color theme gardens and native habitats.
Suggested Spacing:Â 5 to 6 feet apart for hedges; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Winterberry hollies are very easy to grow in consistently moist to wet acidic soils of average or better fertility. They are adaptable to both light and heavy soils and grow well in poorly drained soils including boggy, wet conditions. Generally one male winterberry holly will be sufficient for pollinating 5 to 10 female plants. Flowers are born on new growth so you can prune to shape in late winter or early spring.
