Ilex pedunculosa Female
Description
The Ilex pedunculosa, commonly known as Longstalk Holly, is a deciduous shrub or small tree known for its long peduncles and attractive red berries. This plant is dioecious, meaning that male and female flowers are on separate plants. The female plants produce the characteristic berries if a male plant is nearby for pollination.
Suggested Uses
Longstalk Holly is ideal for use in woodland gardens, as a hedge, or as a specimen plant. Its berries provide winter interest and attract birds, making it a great choice for wildlife gardens.
