As far as I know, you will need a female tree and a male tree to produce berries.

It is possible that you missed the berries (depending on type) as birds can strip the tree clean when the berries ripen (Cedar Waxwings love holly berries for example). My parents have two very tall holly trees that get stripped of berries in late April - early May for example. One of the big holly trees (late April over 10 years ago and a pair of Cedar Waxwings - elusive critters)
