    I took this picture today. It's Ilex Nellie Stevens. A search doesn't say other than it has berries in the Autumn:scratch: It is one of about 3 dozen being planted for screening at work...and a mere £350 each.

    At that price, Pal, I would expect berries all year round .... :lollol:

    Are they yellow 'naff' leaves on the end .... :cnfs::scratch: If so, for that price I would expect a refund ... and a free plant ... :hehe:

    I think it's just the under side of the leaves Vicky.
