Do all holly plants produce berries?
.
Nearly all varieties are dioecious, with male and female flowers occurring on separate plants. This means that female plants, which produce berries, need to be sited near a male pollinator in order to bear fruit. One male is sufficient to pollinate 5 to 20 females, and should be sited within 50 feet of female plants. It’s essential that plants bloom at the same time, so many cultivars are sold as male and female counterparts such as ‘Blue Prince’ and ‘Blue Princess’.
