| I have tried all the nurseies in my area over the past 2 years and no one has the ebony male. Does it really exist? I read your popular Q & A and reading the responses makes me wonder if the male pollinator even exists since so many people can't find it and your office doesn't give a good source to find it. Can your office sell it to me and if not, can your office locate where I can buy one? I bought the ebony magic especially for the berries and leaf color and i do not want to pull it up and replace it since it has been in my yard for over 2 years. HELP! |
| Sorry for all the confusion! Ebony Magic is a blue English holly and any male blue English holly makes a suitable pollinator. You can plant 'Blue Boy', 'Blue Stallion', or 'China Boy' in your yard and your Ebony Magic will produce berries. Here's a list of local nurseries - I'm sure they have several male blue English hollies from which to choose: BEHNKE NURSERIES CO. 11300 WASHINGTON BLVD.
