Holly 'Sky Pencil' 1pc - National Plant Network U.S.D.A Hardiness Zone 5-9 - 2.25 Gallon: Ideal for Privacy, Thrives in Containers

A: You can keep this outdoors in containers with special care such as using burlap to cover the plant during freezes, using mulch around the base to insulate roots, and you can put plants against a house or in a spot that blocks cold and strong winds. The best time to plant the Sky Pencil is in early autumn or spring.

A: Hi Fatheramo, thanks for reaching out! Sky Pencil Holly is not a preferred food for deer. That being said, if you have an active deer population in your area, you may still need to provide some protection to this plant. Animals experiencing food scarcity may disturb plants they aren't normally attracted to. I hope you find this answer to be helpful!
