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.
What is a Jumbo Sky Pencil Holly Tree?
Jumbo trees are the most mature plants offered at Fast Growing Trees. Thanks to their well-developed root systems and large container size of 10-15 gallons, they deliver superior drought resistance, enhanced mineral absorption, and fuller growth. They're the perfect choice for instant privacy and a more established look in your landscape.
Grown in limited quantities, Jumbos are a premium option for those looking to make an immediate impact in their yard.

These plants are perfect we
These plants are perfect we love them. And would highly recommend Fast Growing Trees
Arrived very healthy and already
Arrived very healthy and already all four have new growth. Everything I ordered this year (which was quite a bit!) is thriving despite the record heat and drought in our area.
Great Quality!
I love these Sky Pencil Hollies. I searched everywhere local to purchase these with no luck so I turned to FastGrowingTrees. Man am I happy I did! They arrived fast and were in terrific shape. They are thriving ever since being planted. I will buy from them again!
Great plant!
We ordered 4 of these last year and they’ve grown quite a bit. Very low maintenance plant. A little water. A little sun.
Arrived ready to go!
Ordered two of the sky pencil hollies. The hollies arrived via FedX in very good shape with no broken limbs. Took a few days to get them planted (see photo). They are full and just need to straighten up a bit in their new locations. Very pleased with this purchase and will be looking here before I look elsewhere for plants!
