I don't purchase named cultivars. Named cultivars aren't really the same as "native".
What I've been reading about these plants... if you could find a male... there's a good possibility that you could dig some clones... apparently they produce root suckers.

If you find male plants... I would expect the problem to be solved.

Not so sure that buying "Nordic" is the solution...

Lustrous deep green foliage covers this compact, rounded shrub. An excellent choice for foundations, hedges, and mass plantings, or for use as an accent plant. This easy-care evergreen tolerates a range of soil conditions and even moderately shaded exposures. This female selection bears discreet black fruit if pollinated by a male.


I think you're going to have to find a plant that is positively male... And spend the time figuring out how to propagate it.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
