Christmas Cheer 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. ![]() Even a fool, when he shuts his mouth, is counted (as being) wise.Proverbs 17:28 MY BLOG |

Beautiful, just beautiful! So glad to see you back. |

So interesting that the growers gave different cultivar names to the male and female plants. This make a wonderful seasonal banner. I post high resolution photos (nature, travel, and other subjects) on smugmug https://arctangent.smugmug.com... |

Great banner Leon! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

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? And ![]() Love is patient and love is kind. Always be loving and kind to one another.

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. |

Love the banner!! |
Leon's last post was a month ago. Here's hoping he's just busy and will be checking back in soon. FYI, there are hundreds of banners in the queue and they usually are set with their run dates months in advance. My gardening Blog!
