Care Tips

Care Tips - Growing:

Plant a male pollinator within 50' to ensure pollination; one male will pollinate up to 7 females. To minimize winter damage to the evergreen foliage, provide late-season irrigation if necessary and site so that plant is protected from harsh winds and sun.

Care Tips - Pruning:

Blooms on old wood; however, it's best to avoid pruning female hollies as pruning after bloom removes any developing fruit.

Care Tips - Soil:

Prefers moist, acidic soils. Shallow root system benefits from mulch.

Care Tips - Uses:

Hedges; screens; specimen; landscaping.
