ILEX CRE SKY PENCIL
Grower Notes:

Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil' is commonly referred to as Sky Pencil Japanese Holly. This is a handsome, low maintenance, Japanese Holly with a distinctive columnar, evergreen habit. No pruning is necessary to maintain its dense, narrow form. It features glossy, dark green leaves that stay neat all year. Small black fruits follow tiny white flowers in late summer and fall. Note: This female cultivar will need a male pollinator such as Ilex 'Blue Prince' in order to produce fruit.

Sky Pencil Holly thrives in full sun to partial shade in rich, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal in formal gardens as a vertical accent plant or grown as a screen.
