Thanks for that. Live very rural so may invest in a male plant to make sure!

Hi, Julie,
Yes, it does but you shouldn't need to plant one if you know of any male hollies growing nearby in a neighbour's garden, etc. Hollies can pollinate from a surprisingly far distance (a few city blocks even).

Ilex aquifolium 'Alaska' can you tell me if this plant needs a pollinator for berries?

Hi, Russ,
I don't think it is 'Alaska' - the leaves aren't spiny enough. I almost wonder if it is Ilex 'Nellie R. Stevens' - a cross between I. aquifolium and I. cornuta - it makes a great hedge. Or, it could be Ilex aquifolium 'J.C. van Tol' (the photo here on Shoot shows more leaf spines than typical for this cultivar) which makes an excellent hedge.

I am looking for the species of this hedge, i'm not sure what cultivar of Ilex aquifolium it is? 'Alaska' seems to be the closest I can find.
Thank you
Thank you
