Apollo

Winterberry Holly

Male

Ilex verticillata

One of the best plants for fall and winter color.

Female plants produce bright red berries in profusion in early fall while leaves are still green and remain until mid-winter.  This male variety is required for berry production on the females.  Allow one male for every three females.  Plants should be within 50' of each other for best fruit set.

Berried stems often used in seasonal dried arrangements. 

Likes acidic soil, will tolerate wet, swampy conditions.

Native to the northeastern United States.

Winterberry is dioecious, so both male and female plants are needed for fruit production.
