Can I grow plants from holly berries?

Our Advice:

Yes, collect ripe berries and mix with damp sand, place in a refrigerator for 6-8 weeks to chill. In March sow into pots of John Innes No 1 compost, place in a cool spot outdoors and water regularly. The seeds can take up to 2 years to germinate and grow.
