Growing Holly "J.C.van Tol"

[nerobot]

Does anyone know where I can get some seeds or cuttings of this type of holly? Don't really want to buy a complete plant if I can help it and would like to grow it from scratch. Thanks for any advice.

Find someone with one, and be bold - ask them for a piece, ideally with some berries. Then you can try cuttings and seed!

It's a great holly -- and really useful as it's self-fertile.

Good luck with the search.

trouble is with seeds you can't guarantee that you'll get the one you want - it may be better but probably not. Cuttings would be the most reliable way but I've never had a go at holly so can't comment I'm afraid.
