Description
Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil' (Sky Pencil Japanese Holly)
Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil' is a columnar evergreen shrub prized for its upright growth habit, with narrow, glossy green foliage. This cultivar typically grows to 2–4 metres in height but only 0.5–1 metre in width, making it perfect for small spaces, container planting, or as vertical accents in the garden.
It thrives in temperate Australian climates, preferring well-drained soil and partial to full sun.
Tip: Minimal pruning is needed to maintain its slender shape. Protect from prolonged drought conditions to ensure its health.
