Description
If you like the color orange you’re gonna love the ‘Winter Gold’ Holly. When pollinated by a male, such as the ‘Southern Gentleman’ Holly, this easy-to-grow North American native beauty produces a stunning profusion of large (3/8-inch diameter) bright orange berries that nearly cover the branches in fall through most of the winter on an upright rounded shrub 6 to 8 feet tall. She loses her leaves for the winter so the brilliant berries can have the stage. In spring, bright green new leaves emerge maturing to a lustrous dark green and 3 to 5 inches in length. In the leaf axils, somewhat inconspicuous creamy white flowers appear in late spring, which are followed by the berries.
Note:  In order to produce a bumper crop of berries on a female winterberry holly, you must have a male plant for pollination. One male deciduous holly will pollinate up to five female plants that are growing within 100 feet of the male. Southern Gentleman and Apollo are two suitable super studs for Winter Gold.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and equally as wide, female winterberry hollies such as ‘Winter Gold’ provide year round interest as accents in smaller gardens spaces or home foundation plantings or grouped in shrub borders, sunny to partially shaded woodland borders, native plant areas or bird gardens. Makes a spectacular hedge and is excellent for use in moist areas or along the banks of streams, ponds and other bodies of water. A fine addition to bird gardens, berry gardens, red color theme gardens, native habitats and wetland gardens.
Suggested Spacing:  5 to 6 feet apart for hedges; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Winterberry hollies are very easy to grow in consistently damp to moist or wet acidic soils of average or better fertility. They are adaptable to both light and heavy soils and grow well in poorly drained soils including boggy, wet conditions. Generally one male winterberry holly will be sufficient for pollinating 5 female plants. Southern Gentlemen and Apollo are two suitable male pollinators. Flowers are born on new growth so you can prune to shape in late winter or very early spring. Avoid pruning after the bloom.
