Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil'
This unique and upright evergreen shrub is prized for its columnar form, adding a vertical accent to garden landscapes. With a mature height typically reaching 6 to 10 feet and a width of 2 to 3 feet, 'Sky Pencil' becomes a standout choice for narrow spaces, containers, or as a striking focal point. Thriving in well-drained soil and partial to full sun, it's a hardy and versatile variety. The small, dark green leaves densely clothe the narrow, vertical branches, creating a sleek and architectural silhouette.
