Sky Pencil Japanese Holly
Ilex crenata ‘Sky Pencil’
‘Sky Pencil’ is a distinctive, naturally narrow Japanese holly that is well suited for small spaces. Dark glossy green foliage holds all year on this slow growing, evergreen shrub. Strongly columnar, it makes an excellent narrow hedge or screen, perfect for formal spaces. Even the smallest landscapes can accommodate this pencil-like shrub, ideal for urban gardens where a vertical accent is needed. Introduced by US National Arboretum.
