Questions & Answers
Can I plant just one holly bush
Hi Janet, I bought one a few months ago and although it was small the red berries are coming up nicely. It's pretty nice.
I bought just one and i thought i needed another plant to have berries. To my surprise , in less then 2 weeks of having my plant it had berries on it . I will also be getting another one , because it just look s so pretty .
I have a red beauty holly what male holly can I use to cress pollinate
Any male Blue Holly variety will pollinate your Red Beauty Holly. Some examples include 'Blue Prince', 'Blue Boy', 'Blue Stallion', and 'Castle Wall'. Planting the male holly as close as possible to your Red Beauty, but still within an acre, will ensure pollination occurs.
I am in need of a ?Male? holly to pollinate my female Robin Holly.
The Red Beauty Holly requires a male pollinator to produce berries. Any male Blue Holly will work, including 'Blue Prince', 'Blue Boy', 'Blue Stallion', or 'Castle Wall'.
Can China Boy be used as a pollinator for this Red Beauty?
Yes, the China Boy Holly can be used as a pollinator for the Red Beauty Holly. The Red Beauty is a female holly and needs a male pollinator like the China Boy to produce berries. They should be planted within 100ft of each other for optimal pollination.
Is this Holly a native plant?
This Red Beauty Holly is not a native plant. It's a hybrid variety of holly. While hollies are native to North America, this specific cultivar was developed through horticulture.
what is the next size up and how much
So from reading a previous question, it sounds like this is a female plant......will it not produce an abundance of berries if there is not a male plant planted near it as well, and if not, which male plant should I get?
It takes a male holly bush within 100 ft. and the Blue Boy holly bushes were advised. There are some small and compact blue boy holly bushes that do not get big or spread.
Hello Diann, Thanks for the question and yes, you are very correct that the Red Beauty Holly requires a pollination partner to produce berries. Any male Blue Holly will serve this purpose including 'Blue Prince', 'Blue Boy', 'Blue Stallion', 'Castle Wall', as well as many other cultivars. I hope this answers your question, thank you for the interest!
if so, how close does it need to be planted?
Hello Ernie, Yes, a Castle Wall Blue Holly would be an excellent pollinator for Red Beauty! It's best to plant them as closely together as your landscape allows, but as long as they're within an acre of each other pollination should occur. Thank you for your interest!
