Why Sky Pencil Hollies?
Famous for its good looks, from our nation’s capital to your backyard, the Sky Pencil Holly is a popular, versatile evergreen tree. Especially since it can be planted as an accent on the corners of your exterior, or in rows for a narrow hedge, or alone as an ornamental.
But no matter how you use it, you can expect hassle-free care. You'll be fascinated by the Sky Pencil Holly's shape - growing skyward naturally without the need for trimming (unless you want to keep them at a specific height). So, if you’re looking for a sleek, updated, stylish look, use these Hollies with their tall, narrow, columnar shape.
Plus, it's one of the few plants whose branches grow upward. And very few shrubs can give you this kind of height without encroaching on nearby plants. The Sky Pencil’s benefits are endless, from its sleek silhouette to its cold-hardy growth, all the way down to -10 degrees.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
But the best part of our Sky Pencil Holly is its strong beginning. We’ve planted, grown and shipped your Holly with care, so you’ll get successful results at home. And our larger trees have more advanced root systems, meaning they will adapt more quickly to your environment while providing faster growth.
Recent increases in demand have left this plant in short supply. Order yours today for fast shipping - right to your door. Create a lush, easy-to-grow look with our Sky Pencil Holly!

Happy Little Trees
I received my order of six sky pencils yesterday (Wenesday) after Hurricane Helene had caused devastation to the Southeast over the weekend. The trees were boxed well and arrived healthy, happy, and vibrant. I have already placed another order with Fast Growing Trees.
Cute little trees
Bought two of them (1-2 feet size). They are not big, arrived in good shape and looks very cut and healthy.
Love it!
Great experience with FastGrowingTrees. Arrived in great condition. Doing well-just waiting to grow!
Love my trees!
I bought 2 little trees, they are adorable, healthy and perfect for my yard! I love the information available when deciding what to purchase, we live in a challenging area with some serious and long winter weather but I know we made a great choice!
Beautiful
Health vibrant trees. Excited to see them grow
