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.

Beautiful plants!
Beautiful plants!
A little thin. Some leaves
A little thin. Some leaves are dropping but not bad. It will take a full season before I know for sure. Great packing
FANTASTIC!
I was a little worried about ordering live trees online but boy did I have nothing to worry about! The trees came in amazing condition. I was able to plant them immediately and they're doing great! Will definitely be ordering more life plants from fastgrowingtrees!
Healthy
Just got it today. Came very healthy and nice looking. I already planted it. Thanks Pa.
Stellar Sky Pencil Holly
I purchased 5 Sky Pencil Holly Trees. I planted them within a week. Then our temperatures went down to 34 degrees for two days. Now we are in the high 70's and low 50's. Absolutely no distress on the plants. They are so green, strong and beautiful. I have purchased a few varieties of plants now and I am so happy with Fast Growing Trees. I highly recommend buying.
