| I RECENTLY BOUGHT A HOLLY PLANT AT MY LOCAL HOME DEPOT.IT WAS A MERRY BERRY HOLLY, ILEX X MERRY BERRY PRODUCT CODE 931204.22. DO I NEED A MALE AND FEMALE VARIETY FOR THIS PLANT TO GET BERRIES? |
| 'Merry Berry' produces abundant fruit without another holly to act as a pollinizer. Ilex cornuta is a large, evergreen shrub with lustrous dark green, often spiny, blocky to oval-shaped leaves, 2 to 3 inches long. Heavy crops of red berries, to 1/2 inch in diameter, remain throughout the winter. Effective hedge, screen, espalier, or garden specimen. Older plants may be pruned into small tree. Easy and durable. Extremely heat and drought tolerant. Does well in full sun or part shade in almost any soil. |
