- Ilex Sky Pencil Japanese Holly features a narrow, columnar form, making it an ideal choice for garden design, small areas or specimen plants; its dark green foliage holds color year round and the small evergreen tree produces showy purple berries
- Japanese pencil trees grow great for use as a vertical accent plant, near entryways or as a privacy screen or narrow hedge; you can also plant it in a large container for an elegant, formal appearance; the green pencil shrub maintains its columnar shape
- Japanese holly ilex crenata sky pencil, as it is named botanically, prefers slightly acidic soils that are well drained soil types; the plant will grow best in full sun to partial shade needed to keep the green colored leaves; grow this plant across
- Be sure to water well the first year of planting to establish a strong root system; they are somewhat drought tolerant when mature, but should be watered regularly until established; a newly planted holly bush needs at least a gallon of water a week
- Wondering how fast do sky pencil holly grow; this broadleaf evergreen shrub is a slow to moderate grower; the Japanese Sky Pencil holly growth rate is up to 6-12 in. per year; because of the vertical nature of this hedge plant, it only gets 2-3 ft. wide
- New Sky Pencil holly will grow about 10 until it reaches full maturity; it can reach a mature height of 8-10 ft. tall
- Deer do not usually eat Japanese or sky pencil hollies; not their fruit, the inkberry; Sky pencil hollies are pretty deer-resistant; a deer may come and give it a nibble or two but prefers other things to eat
- Best time to prune a sky pencil holly is in the winter as it is dormant during those months; it is easy for the Sky Pencil to maintain its narrow, columnar shape naturally and requires very little pruning; if preferred, however, you can trim it
