| Re: One very small holly tree!
Holly berries grow on female trees only. Though it's said that some female trees will produce berries on their own without pollination, the majority will not. They are more likely to do so, and to fruit more generously, if they are pollinated by a male tree nearby.
It's fairly easy to know when you have a sapling from a fruiting female tree, but how you can tell a male from a non-fruiting female is beyond my botanical knowledge, I'm afraid. Someone else may know. |
