Letters Between Elizabeth White and Wilfrid WheelerEntry/Object ID
1984.3.44Description
Wheeler writes that he is sending "a few sprays" of a holly tree whose owner gave him permission to clean it up or remove. Too big to remove, so he cleaned it up and fertilized it and though not attractive as a garden tree, it has loads of berries and is good for cutting.
Generally, holly leave and berries are poor because of salt spray from hurricanes. He is sending 300 hollies to be grafted, doesn't like grafting but feels it is "the only way to save several good trees that are in a development project." Hopes that Elizabeth can get away for a bit this winter.Collection
