RE: Hollies

For some reason, this one ended up in the delete bin before I got to it.
Yes, that helps me!  I'll keep my eyes sharp to look for the filament
centers of the male.   Thanks!

Blessings,

When holly blooms you can determine the sex of the bush/tree. Female trees
have flowers with a small green cone in the center. Male trees have tiny
white filaments with yellow tips poking out from the bloom's center. In
addition, to have a bush/tree full of berries, the female and male trees
need to be blooming at the same time.


Hope this helps,
