I love your fearless attitude! They turned out great and make such an interesting accent in your border. Linda Vater would be proud of you!

The topiaries look great!!! Much easier than removing them.

Fantastic job Soleil! I have two volunteer cedars. (arborvitae) that have come up. The one I have pruned into a lollipop shape and the other will be two rounds. The deer nibbled on the last one in the middle ish so that’s where my split will be 🌳🦌🌳. So nice! 👩🏼‍🌾👍🏼

Perfect Timing!!!!.....I have recently started my obsession with Topiary....now I have added an Arborvite to my list of plants I want to add to my Topiary collection....You simplified the process for me, and I now have the confidence to try to Topiary a larger plant specimen like the Arborvite.....Thank You!.....✌️💜💋

Taking your time is always a good idea. I cut back a lilac bush this spring but forgot to evaluate my cuts before moving forward. It will be a few years before it come back to the fullness I like. 😱

Hello from Kingston Ontario! Great job! I did a topiary with an overgrown globe cedar last spring and I used weights to train some of the branches to droop.. it was a fun way to rejuvenate an old shrub.and I love watching the balls sway in the wind.

@janarichards5511 10 ай бұрын

I have a question, if you later decide you would need your topiary to be taller can you let it grow on top of each ball and trim the bottom of each ball upward or are you locked in to this size?

@Suburbanoasis 10 ай бұрын

Never tried but would guess not since I am clipping off the leader branches. 🤔☘️🌼💮
