Sky Pencil Japanese Holly

Sky Pencil Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil', also known as 'Sky Sentry') is a striking, narrow columnar evergreen shrub prized for its dramatic vertical form. Reaching 6–10 feet tall and just 2–3 feet wide, it adds bold architectural structure to landscapes, entryways, and tight spaces without the need for pruning. Tolerates sun to partial shade and adapts well to a wide range of soils. Deer resistant, low maintenance, and a standout four-season performer.
