This popular, versatile shrub can be planted to accent your home, either in rows for a narrow hedge, or alone as an ornamental. However you use it, expect little maintenance.

You’ll be fascinated by the Sky Pencil Holly’s shape – growing skyward naturally without the need for trimming (unless you want to keep them at a desired height).

If you are looking for a sleek, updated, stylish look, use these Japanese Hollies with their tall, narrow, columnar shape.

Very few shrubs can give you this kind of height without encroaching on nearby plants. Perfect for when you want to add height or a focal point to flower beds, groundcovers, entryways, etc.

Because of this unique shape, its possibilities are endless. No matter where you plant your Sky Pencils, their spectacular form will attract attention! It's one of the few plants whose branches grow upward, which is why it got the name Sky Pencil.

It's Easy to Plant your Sky Pencil Holly
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Sky Pencil Holly. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.

Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Sky Pencil Holly gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Sky Pencil Holly again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

We received our order on the day expected, and not only were we impressed with such a fast delivery, but with the quality too... WOW, we were completely happy to see that these bushes were as strong and healthy and sturdy as we hoped and that they came in the size that was stated on your website. We have ordered from other on-line nurseries before ONLY to be disappointed and never ordered from them again; and we were hesitant to try another on-line nursery; so I must say, we will definitely continue to shop with your company again in the future.

This tree is great! We love our holly trees !

By: Joy Mossbruger

I bought two of the Sky Pencil Hollies to go on each side of the garage door. I wanted something that would be tall and narrow and not hide the brickwork on the garage. I planted them early last fall and they look great. They arrived looking very healthy and packed very well. I couldn't be more pleased.

Very poor performer in my area . Lost every sky pencil planted .

By: Rob Morrisey

I live in NM. The description says that these trees can receive 8+ hours full light, which I'm sure is true, but probably not southern NM, AZ or TX full light! It gets very hot and dry here. Even when watered 2-3 times per week it just couldn't stand up to our extreme heat. So if you live in these areas and you're not planting in a shaded area of your house, I don't recommend this tree. Otherwise, the trees were beautiful and came in great condition.
