The Mr. Poppins® Winterberry Holly is the best pollinator for Berry Poppins® Winterberry and all other Proven Winners ColorChoice winterberry hollies. This compact shrub does not produce berries, but is necessary for the female varieties to produce as the pollinator for those shrubs. The good news is that this bush is native to North America and requires little care once established. It is also a compact and dwarf shrub, so it does not take up too much space in the garden.

Mr. Poppins Winterberry Holly Holly Care

You may plant this bush in an area not viewed as often as more showy shrubs, but it does need to be within 50 feet of the female plants to pollinate. This shrub is widely adaptable to a lot of different soil types and moisture levels.

Pruning Mr. Poppins Winterberry Holly should not be done unless absolutely necessary. It could negatively impact how many flowers are produced the next year if pruned too aggressively. Trimming can be done at anytime of the year for sick and dead branches.

Mr. Poppins Winterberry Holly Spacing

Ensure that you plant at least one of these within 50 feet of the female counterpart. One of these shrubs can pollinate up to 5 female shrubs. No need to plant more than that, since these bushes do not produce berries in the winter. If you have more than 5 winterberry shrubs to pollinate, be sure to spread out the male plants more than 25 feet apart, center on center.
