Happy Holly Days

Meserve Holly (Ilex 'Blue Girl')
These plants make good accent shrubs. Both male and female plants are required for pollination to set an adequate crop of berries. My problem here is that our large population of winter birds rarely leave many of the showy fruits for Christmas decoration. Very productive holly with repeat blooms. Heavy fruiting of berries. Pictures to follow.
