Ilex crenata ‘Sky Pencil’/Sky Pencil Japanese Holly

This narrow, columnar evergreen features dark green foliage that stays neat year-round and often produces small purple berries in the fall when a male pollinizer is nearby. Its leaves are smooth and lack sharp points, making it ideal for use on decks, patios, or entryways as a vertical accent or privacy screen. It makes an elegant and formal statement when planted in large containers.
