Question DetailsAsked on 4/5/2012

I don't like the sky pencil tree at a sunny corner of my house. Spot is 4 x 4. Needs to be slender. Deciduous would be ok. What else?

I want to replace a sky pencil (Japanese holly). There's not much room before the sidewalk starts. Location is sunny. Previously had a holly that overgrew the corner. Would an upright juniper work?

It doesn't look like this particular holly is going to overgrow the corner. In fact, it seems like the perfect tree for such a small space. And it seems to need very little maintenance beyond watering.


It would help if you could post a picture of your tree, so we can understand what you don't like about it.


Maybe you're in the wrong climate zone (too hot? too cold?) and for that reason the tree isn't doing well?
