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

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).

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