Unlike the sharp-edged Holly, the Sky Pencil Holly has soft edges making it perfect for use around porches, decks, patios, gazebos, pools, or entryways as a vertical accent or privacy screening. These make an elegant yet formal statement in large containers or planted. The Sky Pencil is designed to grow in a narrow, columnar form with dark green foliage that stays neat year-round, and often sports small purple berries in fall when a male pollenizer nearby.
