This Columnar Holly is Great for Smaller Spaces
Sky Pencil Holly, ilex crenata ‘Sky Pencil’, is a narrow, columnar holly that grows just 2 to 3 feet wide and up to 8 feet tall. Sky Pencil can handle pruning to keep it at a lower height if desired. It is one of a few plants with branches that grow upward.
Sky Pencil Holly makes a great hedge or screen in places where you don’t have as much room for a larger holly, such as the Nellie Stevens. It can add height to the edges of foundation plantings or as a border to create a living fence. They can also add a touch of drama & elegance in a container near your entryway or on either side of a garage. Used often by professional landscapers and realtors to add curb appeal and value to a home.
The growth rate for the Sky Pencil Holly is slow to medium. Expect between 6 to 8 inches of new growth a year. They prefer well-drained soil and can tolerate full to part sun.
