Did you know that certain plants bear only male or female flowers?

This is useful to know if you are growing Ginkgos, you only want a male because the females produce very stinky fruits, but with hollies, you want females for their beautiful fruit (only one male needed to pollinate)
deciduous hollies, great for the winter landscape

  • I can't resist. I also loved the tips on Typical Mary Ellen and lived for Erica's show. I am so tired of House Hunters,...DIY has some great garden shows like Yard Crashers. Back to Gingko, I fell in love with the tree as a kid when I learned they were "prehistoric" and totally bonded the first time I witnessed the beauty of the carpet of yellow leaves at UGA. Ah, bliss.

    I, too, no longer watch HGTV. Used to be addicted to that channel, but all the wonderful garden episodes (including your's) are gone.
