Standard Ilex Blue Maid
This female variety Standard Ilex meserveae, 'Blue Maid' will look fabulous no matter where you choose to put it especially when placed next to a door entrance. It produces abundance of tiny, white flowers in spring that are followed by attractive berries in autumn which is a great contrast against the dark thorny shiny evergreen foliage.
In order to produce fruit Blue Maid needs a male pollinator nearby, preferably from blue holly range such as Blue Prince and Heckenstar.

Stake the shrub until it is strong enough to withstand the wind itself. Prune into shape in Feb. - March. During harsh winters you may need to bring pot grown trees indoors to an unheated room until it warms up.
