Topiary madness

Topiary lovers, be welcome and admire the art of pruning! Take your time to stroll around and be amazed by both classic and more experimental topiary shapes.

As with our other trees, we also consider the character of each individual important in pruning shapes. Even in duos or series of plants that show identical in group, some differences may occur. This creates a resulting garden with more character and individuality.

Simple shapes like these flat Taxus baccata domes are often used to give year-round structure to the garden and contrast with the more natural trees around.

These Carpinus blocks on standard form a uniform lot. The distinctiveness of each individual is reflected here in the character of the foot trunk, the grooves in the trunk and branching that become visible in the winter silhouette.

Playing with contrast, structure, colour and transparency.

The history of topiary dates back to Roman times and has seen a huge evolution in popularity, style and application. It is a tradition that we like to help preserve and where we also like to be surprised by how they are applied in today’s gardens.
