Do you have references to show that this is not Ilex crenata 'Hoogendorn'?

There are many references to Ilex crenata 'Hoogendorn'.

Ilex verticillata 'Hoogendorn' is almost non-existent.

Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave.

There is no question but that this is Ilex verticillata.

Ilex crenata is Japanese Holly, which is evergreen and has black fruit. The plant I photographed is clearly a deciduous plant with red fruit. It is a labeled plant in an internationally recognized holly arboretum.

'Hoogendorn' is certainly not one of the more common selections of Winterberry Holly. I suppose I could check in with the national registrar at the Holly Society of America to confirm for you, if you believe that is necessary.

Hi VV,

I have not been able to reference Ilex verticillata 'Hoogendorn' through HSA: http://www.hollysocam.org/

I have found nurseries that sell the plant though.

Is there any evidence that a 'Hoogendorn' cultivar exists from Ilex verticillata and Ilex crenata.

I'm trying to find whether one of the PlantFiles entries is incorrect or if both are right.

Thanks, Dave

Well, Dave, you put me through my paces. There should be a disclaimer at the beginning of PlantFiles that DGers have to provide documentation of submissions. I bet that'd make more than a few folks think twice before they submit the next 10,000 irises or daylilies.

Here's a quote lifted from page 48 of the February 2009 American Nurseryman article relating to the testing/trialing of Winterberry selections at Longwood Gardens:

Quoting:
'Hoogendorn' was found growing wild along a roadside in Portsmouth, RI, by George Gomes, a former foreman with Hoogendorn Nurseries, Inc., Middletown, RI. It was selected, named, and introduced by the nursery for its dark green foliage and large, profuse red fruits (photo, page 50).


Here's the link to the article: http://www.longwoodgardens.org/docs/research/ilex0209.pdf

I am waiting to hear back from my fellow Board of Trustee members at HSA. I'm pretty sure several of them grow this, and a couple may know the originator personally.

Oh - meant to mention that there officially IS a selection of Japanese Holly, Ilex crenata 'Hoogendorn', also. It was selected from the same Rhode Island nursery. It was selected for extra hardiness against cold. It is a male selection, thus it will be fruitless.

You can find it referenced on page 332 in Fred Galle's fine tome, Hollies: The Genus Ilex (Timber Press, Inc. 1997).

Thanks for the follow up!

The two entries for the 'Hoogendorn' cultivars will stand.

Slyperso1's (Sylvain's) photos have been moved.
