It may be increased like the other pinnated kinds, by 
grafting on the common B. aquifolium either in spring or 
autumn, when the young shoots are nearly hard ; but hitherto 
the plant has not shewn the least disposition to make any 
lateral shoots, although three feet high. It will no doubt be 
increased hereafter by seeds, which are likely to be produced 
freely when the plants get older ; as yet the berries have had 
no seeds in them. ; 
It flowers during the months of January and February, if 
kept in the greenhouse, and in July ripens its long erect 
spikes of deep purple berries.
