How To Tell The Difference Between A Male And Female Holly Bush, determine sex of holly plants is by examining the flowers.
Everybody knows the common holly, whose prickly green leaves and scarlet berries brighten up our homes at Christmas. But did you know there are masses of related varieties with even showier foliage and berries in different shades, from deep purple to apricot? Gardening manuals often advise covering berry-laden branches with netting to prevent birds snaffling them. However, this tip should be ignored as birds can get trapped in the mesh. When buying hollies, discover the plant’s gender. Male and female plants are available, and both sexes are needed to ensure the female produces berries. Young plants will grow in containers filled with soil-based compost for two to three years, but will eventually become too large
