Apollo Holly

Ilex × meserveae 'Apollo' — Apollo Holly is a compact, upright male holly prized for its dense, dark glossy evergreen foliage and its critical role as a pollinator for female berry-producing hollies. Its rich, spiny leaves hold their deep green color through winter, providing year-round structure and screening. Plant near female hollies such as China Girl or Blue Princess to ensure maximum berry production on your female plants.
