Almost all holly species are dioecious, meaning that you will need to plant both males and females if you desire fruit. One male plant is able to pollinate a few female plants. They produce drupes not berries that are often red but may come in shades of white, yellow, purple, or black. They are at least somewhat toxic if eaten, so consider that fact if planting in a spot visited by small children
