Sexual Secrets Revealed! The English holly trees are either male or female. The flowers are out now and the female flower has a little green ball in the center that grows and matures after pollination and becomes the red berry after the first frost. The male flower has four upright pollen stalks. Pictures suitable only for mature readers please.
