Skimmia - Male And Female

Zak Flaps · 2020-06-09 12:33:26

Hi. Going to purchase a male and female Skimmia. For pollination, do they have to be next to each other or can there be a small plant in between them? Thanks.

They can be up to a few metres apart ,as long as the pollinating insects can travel between them.
I have two about 5 metres apart and they seem to work well together.
