Nellie R. Stevens will set fruit when planted alone.
However, with male pollination Nellies produce lots
more red berries. If there is a Edward J. Stevens in
the vicinity, it will do the job because it blooms at the
same time.
If you have Nellie R. Stevens,
include Edward J. Stevens in your assembly.

'Nellie R. Stevens' holly is a female hybrid plant, a cross between the English holly and the
Chinese holly. Hollies are generally dioecious plants, so you usually need both a male and
female for fruit production. Strictly speaking, 'Nellie R. Stevens' holly is an exception to
this rule, being what is called a partially "parthenocarpic" plant. This means that 'Nellie R.
Stevens' holly is able to set some fruit without a male being present, although the fruit will
be seedless. Such technicalities aside, it is still better to provide a male: doing so will
produce more fruit. The male counterpart to 'Nellie R. Stevens' holly is Ilex x 'Edward J.
Stevens.'
