Other Notes
Ted Dudley's HSA grant to collect in korea was focussed specifically on the genus ilex. "The Ilex planted in the Hwa Hong schoolyard were well documented earlier by Ferris Miller; possibly the most spectacular plant of I. x wandoensis in ed. ever seen by anyone is cultivated at this school. It is about 10 meters tall with very dense dark foliage to the base and has been trimmed precisely to 3 flat sides giving it a true "pyramid" shape. This female in heavy fruit was originally dug in the wild. The label on this schoolyard specimen unfortunately identifies it as I. cornuta. Several other male and female plants of I. x wandoensis in ed. were present on the school grounds as well as "true" I. cornuta, I. integra and I. crenata. The return visit to Wando in October will emphasize seed and cutting collections from this tree and the others located in several gardens and in the wild." Ted Dudley 1985 trip report
