| Botanical Name | Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil' |
| Description | A sophisticated architectural choice for Southeast Texas. 'Sky Pencil' provides a strong vertical element without taking up much footprint. It is generally adaptable but requires well-drained soil; in heavy clay areas, avoid low-lying spots and consider amending with expanded shale to prevent root rot during wet Houston winters. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade |
| Height x Width | 6-10 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Regular; prefers consistent moisture but is sensitive to standing water. Maintain a layer of mulch to keep roots cool during the Houston summer. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Use a slow-release, slightly acidic fertilizer in the spring. |
| Pruning | Rarely needed to maintain its narrow habit, but can be topped to control height if desired. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
