2.5 Qt - Sky Pencil Holly - Evergreen Shrub with an Upright and Slender Growth Habit

• The Japanese Sky Pencil is female only cultivar of Ilex Crenata. Dense evergreen foliage that retains its natural shape without pruning making it very easy to care for. Fully mature plants reach sizes of 5-10 feet tall x 18-24 inches wide.
• MULTI USE: With its unique appearance you may find that there are several places that you may want to place your Sky Holly. They do well as container plants, tall hedges or privacy screens. In order for your plant to produce berries both male and females must be present for pollination.
• EASY TO MAINTAIN: Sky Pencil Hollies retain their elegant form without pruning, but they often benefit from light trimming while still young. Prune during the winter as the plant is not actively growing while being sure not to remove more than 1/3rd of its growth.
• USDA ZONES: Japanese Sky Pencil is hardy in zones 6 - 9. New Sky Pencil plants require frequent watering until the roots are well established. Make sure to avoid allowing the soil to become soggy as this will increase the probability of root rot.
• POTTED PLANTS: Ships as a 2.5 Quart potted plant with soil from the Alabama Gulf Coast. This plant is unavailable to ship to Hawaii and Alaska.
