Meserve Holly (Ilex 'Blue Girl'): this is such a nice holly for color, easy growth and decoration. It is grown on either male or female plants requiring both for pollination. The male is Meserve Holly (Iles 'Blue Boy') which pollinates, but does not bear fruit.

Beautiful banner!
We had a holly tree back at our previous house, and I definitely miss it. Hollies are so beautiful, especially the one in your banner. Speaking of the picture, may we see either the full picture, or just a picture of the entire plant please?
arctangent said:So interesting that the growers gave different cultivar names to the male and female plants. This make a wonderful seasonal banner.
They had to do this I think to make sure there were no unhappy customers---If you only bought a male or only a female, you wouldn't get any fruit. Need both for fruit, so they gave different names to different genders, and the customers buy at least one of each.
with Fleur, good to see you back!
