Default Weed of the week: holly (Ilex aquifolium) [1/1]

Here are the flowers of the female holly tree. You can see the tiny
green ovaries which will ripen into red fruit about the size of a coffee
bean. Very few holly trees have enough ripe fruit to look decorative,
but don't be deceived - there'll be hundreds of seedlings.
The distinctive shape of holly leaves makes the seedlings easy to
recognise: pull them out as soon as you see them. If you need a prickly
evergreen hedge make sure your hollies are male.
Next week: ivy.
