About the Sky Box® Japanese Holly

The Sky Box® Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata) is an exquisite evergreen shrub that elevates your landscape with its elegant architectural charm. This holly, formerly known as Sky Pointer®, boasts shiny, dark green foliage and a tall, narrow, conical shape that commands attention in gardens, containers, or as an entryway border. Its tight upright branching and glossy leaves make it an essential addition for those seeking year-round interest.

With a pollinator nearby, this holly will produce white berries, adding visual allure in contrast to its dark foliage. While these berries are attractive to birds, they’re not intended for human or pet consumption.

Growing Sky Box® Japanese Holly

Showcasing a moderate growth rate, this medium-sized evergreen reaches a height of 4-5 feet and spreads 2-3 feet, making it an excellent choice for spaces requiring vertical definition. The Sky Box® Japanese Holly is a versatile shrub that thrives in a variety of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and is well-suited to hardiness zones 6-8. Thanks to its adaptability, it withstands harsh urban environments, salt tolerance, and dry conditions, requiring minimal maintenance once established.

Ideal for groupings, mass plantings, shrub borders, screens, hedges, or as a specimen, the Sky Box® Japanese Holly embodies resilience and style. It prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soils but can adapt to poor, dry soils as well. This evergreen retains its columnar shape without pruning, although it can be pruned if desired.

Elevate your landscape’s aesthetic appeal with the Sky Box® Japanese Holly, an exceptional choice for those seeking a hardy, stylish, and low-maintenance addition to their outdoor space.
