December 7, 2018 – Foster Holly


Foster holly

As you are out and about this week, you may appreciate walking through Court 13 on the Medford Campus to enjoy the group of three Foster Holly, Ilex x Attenuata ‘Fosteri’ trees. This group makes a stunning show with its glossy dark green leaves and the deep red berries that fill the branches. This holly is a female cultivar, but there’s no need to plant a male specimen to ensure berry production. It is parthenocarpic, meaning it can produce fruit without pollination.
