Great video no nonsense no music listening to someone who’s passionate about trees. I needed to no what conditions holly like you answered my question at the end. Happy listener.
My holly tree at bottom of garden is plain green. Never had any berries so must be male. Love your joke about the confused gender holly tree that was not growing ! As if it could not make up its mind whether to grow or not !!! Your explanations are brilliant and zany. Thanks
If it's a lighter shade of green it's a Male tree you'd know anyways in the spring when it makes the flowers and they smell really good an attracts tons of bees
Happy SOLSTICE and CHRISTMAS and Yule and winter half of Samhain John Thank you so much for your video here and all of your videos:) Love this and them all!
Great video John, excellent information provided. What would happen I wonder if you tried to graft a female branch of holly onto a male trunk or conversely? Would you get an asexual plant resulting.
Hi John, thanks for such an informative video, i want to grow holly at the back of my garden( south facing) as a privacy hedge and as u said i too want it to go up straight with a visible stem. Would i be able to take big holly branches and propagate them? Would it work? As i the garden centre a 180cm holly is 100 pounds. Regards
Is the single leader preference your personal taste or do you have reasons for this? The girl Golden King holly, does it need a particular pollinator? I always thought there were only specific pollinators for each variety based on bloom time bit maybe there is more to it...(hey I used my shovel today just like you do to chop away some big weeds on the empty lot next door and it works like a dream! Thank you!)
I prefer the single leader as the growth is all around one axis and it is easy to make a good pyramidal shape with a pointed top. Multiple leaders also result in forks and these can widen and sag.
Will they grow if planed in between some 50 feet pines? I have a lot of pines on my property but with gaps in between. I got a few needlepoint on sale I am trying to decide if I can drop them in between.
Yeah they should grow just fine there I dug one up that was growing in full shade and now it's in more sun its gonna take it a few months to regrow new needle leaves back so its gonna look like a twig in the ground
I came here because I wonder what plant has little round red berries like a holly that grows here in PA USA. The leaves are shaped like the very first one you showed us, but they are not two-toned. They are just medium green. I don't know what else it could be.
Whenever it starts to flower out is when they'll start making the red berries if you have a female holly tree and if it gets pollinated I still believe they can still make berries even if they don't get pollinated all that'll cause is a dead seed that won't sprout out if planted. So you have a male
I get mine from my friends woods and don't really care if its male or female but I'd like another big male spike needle leaf holly so I was filling up the back yard with all kinds of tree's and holly tree's are really slow growers
Loved this, learnt so much and really enjoyed the enthusiastic and good humoured presentation style, thank you!

Great info! Thank you. Love the beautiful specimens you showed here.🌿
Hollies aren't stupid! Love it. That's just how I look at plants.
Holly's aren't stupid, love it. Very informative looking forward to viewing your other videos.
Finally I now know I have a male holly. I didn’t know males have flowers, I thought maybe it was a female that hadn’t been cross pollinated.
What a great lot of information. You know so much John. Keep doing the videos. They are fantastic.

Thank you John, could-different type of holly pollinate each other?
Yes if you’re talking about different varieties of the same holly species, as the differences are generally to do with leaf colour.
Is the single leader preference your personal taste or do you have reasons for this? The girl Golden King holly, does it need a particular pollinator? I always thought there were only specific pollinators for each variety based on bloom time bit maybe there is more to it...(hey I used my shovel today just like you do to chop away some big weeds on the empty lot next door and it works like a dream! Thank you!)
I prefer the single leader as the growth is all around one axis and it is easy to make a good pyramidal shape with a pointed top. Multiple leaders also result in forks and these can widen and sag.
Can they be used as living Christmas trees?
Loved this
I have always gone by the leaf size an color of the spiky leaves. i like the multiple branches on mine all of mine have spike needle leaves
Your great.

I must have a male and females I didn’t get any Berry’s . How many years does it take to produce Berry’s ? I love holly
Whenever it starts to flower out is when they'll start making the red berries if you have a female holly tree and if it gets pollinated
I still believe they can still make berries even if they don't get pollinated all that'll cause is a dead seed that won't sprout out if planted.
So you have a male
How do I care for it indoor?
Was hoping for Red Dwarf stuff.
How do i water my small Holy
What if they identify differently or decide to transition?!?! 😊
I bought a dwarf holly and their getting big 🙀
I get mine from my friends woods and don't really care if its male or female but I'd like another big male spike needle leaf holly so I was filling up the back yard with all kinds of tree's and holly tree's are really slow growers
John makes me so nervous with all his fast hopping about and fast excited voice. Take a good belt of whisky, John, and slow down, lad!
Is that cannabis hemp behind you @ 6:15 ?? .. if so , now we know Why you call it your Secret garden .. yesh?
Tomfarrar Talley ...Bamboo.
It was tobacco
How can we see if your jumping about waving your arms. Keep your hand still when showing us. Things
Painful to watch with all the camera moving, shaking and out of focus. I barely made it 30 seconds and stopped. You earned my thumbs down.
