I’ve worked out this is a skimmia. Can anyone tell me which variety it is, please ?

Do you mean is it male or female?
IIRC you need one of each to make berries.

IIRC you need one of each to make berries. I just assumed there was more than one variety of skimmia. I didn’t know you got boys & girls!
so I won’t be getting any berries then  .
they grow slowly, don’t they. I took that cutting over 2 years ago .
What’s IIRC stand for  .

IIRC stands for, if I remember correctly, IIRC.
I had a skimmia, just one, for years and patiently waited for the berries but they never came. Then I found out about needing 2 plants.

I have a couple, they've grown very little and I struggle keeping the leaves green. They always turn pale yellow.

Thanks for the link. Very helpful.
