These deciduous hollies
are not well known in this country. Yet they should be! For sheer
"berry-power" they are hard to beat! They are easily grown
shrubs which are tolerant of most soils and conditions, including areas
which waterlog, although they are not brilliant on chalk. The bright red
berries are clustered right up the stems, ripen in August to September
and reliably persist until Christmas, or even March-April, dependant on
weather and bird populations! They look magnificent against a snowy
landscape but are equally fantastic for cutting. The cut stems will keep
for months indoors, but only if they are not in water. Male pollinators
are required, whilst berries will only be produced by females. |

verticillata 'Maryland Beauty' (f) This particular cultivar is more compact, reaching approx 2m. Female. |
|
|
|
|
| ILEX verticillata
'Southern Gentleman' (m) The elusive male, essential for pollination. Don't forget that just 1 'Southern Gentleman' can handle a whole collection of females...! |

| ILEX
verticillata 'Winter Gold' (f) This distinctive selection produces a wonderful display of golden berries instead of the more usual red. |
|
|
|
|
 |
ILEX
verticillata 'Winter Red' (f) This is one of the best cultivars. It is larger growing than Maryland Beauty, and can reach 3m tall given time. Female, so the red berries are produced in profusion. |
