Why Sky Pencil Hollies?
Famous for its good looks, from our nation’s capital to your backyard, the Sky Pencil Holly is a popular, versatile evergreen tree. Especially since it can be planted as an accent on the corners of your exterior, or in rows for a narrow hedge, or alone as an ornamental.
But no matter how you use it, you can expect hassle-free care. 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 specific height). So, if you’re looking for a sleek, updated, stylish look, use these Hollies with their tall, narrow, columnar shape.
Plus, it's one of the few plants whose branches grow upward. And very few shrubs can give you this kind of height without encroaching on nearby plants. The Sky Pencil’s benefits are endless, from its sleek silhouette to its cold-hardy growth, all the way down to -10 degrees.

Sky Pencil Holly
I purchased 2 to border a window. They arrived well packed & very healthy. They are a beautiful addition to my xeriscape garden.
Doing good
My tree is doing well even after it was in tranist 3 days longer than fedex stated. Has only been in ground a week and half before hard freeze, watered it very well before so hopefully make it through winter.
Exceeded my expectations
Trees arrived exceptionally healthy! Both are nicely shaped. I planted in front of a white picket fence at my sidewalk entrance. They frame the opening nicely. I love the texture of them!
Beautiful plant!
Plant arrived packed very well and looked very healthy out of the box. It took a few days to get it planted and so far things look great. I was impressed to find the plant online and have options for the size. It was a 3-4 footer so I could plant it where another had died and it it wasn’t terribly short next to the others. Thanks for your excellent service! I will shop your plants again.
Bug Bitten, But Shrugged It Off
These things have established well, even in a historically hot summer I've been able to keep them all alive. They arrived in a condition that looked like some bugs went to town eating holes in the leaves, but in a matter of weeks the new growth made it a non-issue. I've only had one struggle, and that was my fault because I didn't realize a section of my flowerbed wasn't getting watered in my new home construction. I think it'll survive, but it's lagging well behind the others due to my negligence lol.
