Blue princess and Foster Holly
Will a Foster holly pollinate a Blue Princess? The local nursery
recommended the Foster over the Blue Prince because of the lower cost. Thank You |
Blue princess and Foster Holly
Foster Holly is Ilex x attenuata... the 5 Fosteriis are 'interspecific
hybrids between Ilex cassine crossed with Ilex opaca [Dirr]. The male pollinator of the five Foster clones is simply called 'Foster #4'. Blue Princess Holly is Ilex x meserveae, which is a hybrid of Ilex rugosa and Ilex aquifolium. Perhaps someone more in the know can tell definitively, but to me it doesn't seem likely the Foster (presuming you have the male Foster #4) can pollinate based on this parentage.
