Introducing the Sky Pencil Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil'), a versatile and elegant evergreen shrub that is sure to enhance any landscape. With its sleek, columnar form and dense foliage, this holly variety adds a touch of sophistication to gardens, patios, and entryways. Standing tall and slender, it reaches a mature height of 6 to 8 feet with a width of just 2 feet, making it an ideal choice for tight spaces and vertical accents.
One of the standout features of the Sky Pencil Japanese Holly is its narrow, upright growth habit. Its glossy, dark green leaves create a stunning backdrop for the small, inconspicuous white flowers that bloom in late spring. These flowers give way to black berries in the fall, adding a pop of color to the landscape. The evergreen foliage retains its beauty year-round, ensuring a visually appealing backdrop even during the winter months.
This holly variety thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it adaptable to a range of light conditions. It is also highly tolerant of urban pollution, making it a great choice for city gardens. With its low-maintenance nature and compact size, the Sky Pencil Japanese Holly is perfect for hedges, foundation plantings, or as a striking focal point in the garden. Its botanical name, Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil,' pays homage to its narrow, pencil-like form and its classification within the Ilex crenata species.
