Korean/Rock Hornbeam and Ilex Serrata

Post by Webos »

G'day gang,
Just putting my feelers out to see if anyone is experienced in growing Ilex Serrata and/or Korean/Rock Hornbeam.

I'm interested in adding these species to my benches, let me know if you have any laying around.

Thanks

Adam

I have an ilex, but was disappointed to hear that to get them to berry they need pollination from other plants. That's a bummer as I have only one! :tounge:

G'day Adam,

I'm ground growing a few Female Ilex Serrata that I got from Ray Nesci. He has taken cuttings of a male and I'm waiting on them to be ready so I can add a one to my flock.
I can't offer you any growing tips as I only got mine 6 months ago.

Regards,
Steven
