Aptly named the Sky Pencil Japanese Holly, this tall and narrow evergreen shrub looks like a green pencil pointing up to the sky! Perfect for any small garden or tight space, this formal looking plant features a compact and columnar form and lustrous dark green leaves, which retain their color throughout the year. Inconspicuous tiny greenish-white flowers emerge in the spring, while blackish-purple berries persist through the fall. The Sky Pencil's vertical shape and rich color makes this a great choice for planting in containers, at entryways, in borders, or as a privacy screen.
