Topiary Trim - Wisconsin Garden Video Blog 606

http://www.WisconsinGarden.com - - - It’s time to consider some topiary trimming especially on several arborvitae bushes that exist in different parts of our garden. Both overcrowding and the winter sun has burned and destroyed much of the southern side of these plants over the years. Rather than digging them up and throwing them away, we decided to apply our artistic topiary minds to this task. We even decided to topiary six of our full dwarf Alberta spruce trees that we planted along the edge of our berm that if allowed to fully grow would end up blocking our view of many other plants growing on our berm. Now we could have removed and replanted them elsewhere, but from the view of our front porch overlooking this berm area has already revealed other flowering plants, bushes, and trees that will also reveal our topiary structures during the winter months. Now it’s up to us to keep them trimmed.
