Follow up on the hollies changing sex post I put on here a while back. Hollies are blooming now in this area and I checked some of the ones mentioned in the earlier post. The second holly I mentioned original plant was and still is male. It was the one that seven of eight planted in one site bloomed female and set a good set of berries year before last. Last year I didn't check as we had a severe cold spell late at bloom time and no hollies had fruit. This year when I checked all eight were blooming male. The first holly I mentioned that went from male to both male and female to all female. I planted seven plants rooted from this plant and this year when I checked six were still blooming female and one was male. Maybe I am being hit by cosmic rays or something. Just wanted to let you know.
