Pollination Info for Little Goblin Orange Winterberry Holly
The Little Goblin Orange Winterberry Holly, also known by its botanical name Ilex verticillata 'NCIV2', is a deciduous shrub that produces bright orange berries in winter. The pollination process is crucial to the production of these berries.
The Little Goblin Orange Winterberry Holly is dioecious, which means that it has separate male and female plants. The male plants produce pollen, while the female plants produce flowers that are receptive to the pollen. Therefore, a male plant must be planted near a female plant to ensure successful pollination and berry production.

They visit the male flowers to collect nectar and pollen, which they then transfer to the female flowers as they feed. Wind is also a minor pollinator of this plant, but the main pollination is done by insects.
To increase the chances of successful pollination and berry production, it is recommended to plant at least one male plant for every three to five female plants. The male plant should be planted within 50 feet of the female plants.
