Has any one ever seen a hollier that started with leaves like this, the other cuttings that I started look normal but this one is different. 

Bump

Ryan,

Here's mine. Hope this helps.

Also, I have heard it is pronounced :Ooh yay.
Can someone confirm this?

Got this picture from f4f website.

My other one looks like ya'lls, and this one may look the same as it grows but it started with some really different leaves. And as far as pronunciation, rafed, down here in coon - ass country that is right, especially when it is said fast, when you slow it down some say it oo-lee-yay

Ryan, here is a pic of my just rooted this spring. My big plant died this past winter.

Yours looks normal also mike, it looks good, maybe the one I should in the top pic will be a surprise fig, lol because it sure doesn't resemble hollier, time will tell

Now y'all need some English learn'in, coming from TX we knows how to pronunciation stuff, it be holly-er. Is it one of the hybrids out of LSU? I would think like some of the other i.e the Improved Celeste it would sometime show up with leaves from it's parent trees...

Lol, Gloria,  that's how it be, huh? 

I have to agree with Gloria. Thats exactly how I was pronouncing it!! LOL

I know a Dr. Hollier out of Shreveport, LA. She and everyone pronounced it "OL-YAY".

"OL-YAY" is the way JR pronounced it and he was my original source in LA

It is pronounced "Oh-yea". Read this.....

I will concede to Snag, since it is someone's name they get he right to say it however they be a wanting to...If you look at my name I'd say you want to say it Ram-a-lee but it is Ra-male-lee. So if'in it be your name you get the say so on how it is pronounced. Me I say they should have spelled it Ramailey if they wanted it pronounced that way... makes me miss my maiden name....

Well down here, especially south of interstate 10, Cajun french is still spoken in many households, my mother and grandmother speak better french then English,  but my generation is where it stops, it is a dying language. Cajun french is different then regular french, a lot of words are said different and some even have different meanings. I'm not sure what Hollier means, it is probably just someone's name that this fig was named after, just like most of the other Lsu figs. Anyways the point I'm getting at is I've heard said the way Dennis pointed out and the way  mike pointed out but I've never heard anyone say it holly-er, lol.

Dalton Durio,told me that his dad named this fig after his friend whose last name was Hollier......Dalton's dad was a part of the staff at LSU during the fig propagation experiment........Brian 

I know a few eastern Canadians from newfoundland and nova scotia who cannot pronounce the letter "H" when speaking. Since the french Cajuns have ties to Acadia (maritimes provinces) I wonder if this is just a case of how they pronounce a word starting with H...?? When I see the word I sound it the same as other french names.... Cartier...Carsh-yay.... Bernier..Bern-yay......Hollier...Holl-yay.  :)
