I grow in a USDA Zone 5b location, and Sky Pencil Holly is only marginally hardy where I live, so I am growing it in a protected spot from winter winds. I hope you all found my video useful!

Oh mannn, mine were doing AWESOME until about the end of February. We had just a couple of days with frigid wicked winds. They were near the foundation and out of the windstream but... I think being in pots were the kids of death zone 6 SW PA.
Interesting thing is I had a new, much smaller one in its original liner that was totally exposed to the wind but did just fine, but with it, I had the pot set down inside a trench I dug in my backyard.
Sad because I love those tall dark narrow evergreens. How is love 2 be able to grow Italian cypress (I do actually have one but I know it’s chances are slim).
Hello! I am searching for answers to some questions I have.
I am in Zone 5b and decided to go ahead and purchase a sky pencil holly. It was delivered yesterday, and it looks like I got two babies in one pot! I am concerned as ever to help it/them thrive. I will be planting them on the Southern side of my brick home. I understand to keep the soil more acidic and amend the sandiness, but I am worried about wintertime. I have three main questions:
1. Will covering the plant in winter help preserve it, or would that create other health concerns?
2. Is planting them in a large pot and bringing them in to a porch during winter a viable option?
3. Would it be okay outside in a large pot with a covering over winter in freezing conditions?
I would appreciate any tips you might have for helping keep this sweet little plant happy.
Thanks!
@@amandaseverance you have the exact same questions in mind as I do right now haha. Did you find any answers?
@@novinnovations4026 They can be kept in a pot and brought in over the winter. I believe they can also be covered in the winter against the wind. I have not heard anything about putting in a pot and keeping it outside over the winter, but it does not sound like a good idea to me. Heavy snow can ruin the shape if it’s not lightly bound. We’ll see! I did not separate them yet, but I think I will. One of them is doing better than the other right now.
@@amandaseverance Hi Amanda! Did you ever plant these in the ground? I'm a fellow zone 5'er lol. Trying to find more info from others if they'd had any luck.
How can I nurture my sky pencil holly shrubs after my horse and my mule ate the tops off? I came home from work today and they ate 1/4 to 2/3 of each of my seven plants in my front yard. I bought these because the horticulturist said horses don’t like this shrub 🥲
How is the sky pencil doing for you almost 2 yrs later? I am looking to add some to my landscape
Mine have been in the ground for 2 yrs. now. They are doing good. I planted 15 trees and only 1 is not doing to well. They only grow 12 inches in 1 year.
@@TheNasu7777 Hello! Are you in zone 5b? I'm hesitant to plant them in the ground (we bought 6 lol). The tag said hardy to our zone but other videos/sites are saying hardy only down to zone 6 🙃
