.hermaphrodite means both male and female together,so I suppose it means self-pollinating

Hollies are normally dioceous - that is, they bear either male or female flowers but not both on the same plant. You need both sexes to get the berries (on the female).
As Bren says, hermaphrodite means it has both so you should get berries without having to plant another one
