There are male and female holly trees, which leads to one of the most commonly asked questions – ‘why doesn’t my holly produce berries?’

This will either be because the tree is male, or because there are no male trees in the area to produce pollen to fertilise the female.

These large trees have deeply furrowed bark, and often large burrs. They prefer wet edges and stream sides over woods. Country people relied on this tree for fuel-wood, shelter and low-grade timber when no other was available.
