An architectural evergreen for tight spaces.
The Sky Pencil Holly (Ilex crenata Sky Pencil) is a unique, narrow columnar evergreen shrub that adds elegance and structure to any landscape. With its naturally upright, pencil-slim form, this holly is perfect for tight urban gardens, narrow borders, or modern landscapes where space is limited but style is a must.
Versatile design and year-round color.
Reaching 610 feet tall and only 23 feet wide, Sky Pencil Holly provides vertical height without spreading out. This makes it ideal for framing entryways, accenting patios, or planting along walkways. Its glossy, dark-green evergreen foliage holds color year-round, giving your landscape a polished and refined look in every season.
Perfect for hedges, containers, and accents.
Whether planted in rows as a living privacy screen or grown in large decorative pots, Sky Pencil Holly adapts beautifully to a wide range of landscape designs. It works especially well in formal gardens where its tall, slender form can be repeated for symmetry, or in modern landscapes as a sleek focal point.
Low-maintenance and resilient.
Hardy in USDA Zones 59, Sky Pencil Holly is both cold-hardy and heat-tolerant. It is also naturally deer-resistant and low-maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning to maintain height and density. With its versatility, elegance, and toughness, Sky Pencil Holly is a landscape designers favorite for adding structure and sophistication to any space.
