I am lucky to have friends that allow me to prune there Ilex's for them so I have avast amount to play with in teaching workshops christmas wrealths,garlands and table arrangements, so as there are no berries we use other sources of berries that will achieve just as wonderful a display as if using our Ilex berries. There is the crataegus orientalis,Sorbus aira'Lutescens' and Skimmia japonica. This is the first year that my aquafolium Ilex has had only one berry on and this is well hidden from the birds.
