I had wondered Linda if maybe I had too many Topiary, Standards, etc. until I see your yard and then I know I am doing okay. Loving the tutorials so far. You are Awesome. Thanks!
I am so inspired now I said a whole garden with Topiaries love it Please keep on doing more videos of that I will I love it and looking at your garden is inspiring
Please make a video showing how to prune a two and 3 ball topiary from start to finish. Preferably with different trees, boxwoods , lemon Cypress etc. Thank you.
That's amazing! I have an osmanthus burkwoodi in the g4round, that is already five foot tall, that I would like to prune into a sphere. It is just finishing flowering (it is spring here in Melbourne Australia). I believe it is suitable shrub to shape into a sphere. I am going to try this out. You did a fantastic job. Thanks.
Would you please do a video on how to grow large balls? I’ve never understood if you shape them when they’re small like that and let them fill out, trimming less each time, or if you have to start with a larger plant to begin with?
Hi Linda, can I start training a 10" - 12" lemon cypress? Or does it have to be larger and more established? Thanx for all your videos, tips and tricks!! Love them all!
What is the difference between winter gem, green gem, and baby gem? I am new to this and my local nursery didn’t know :( thanks!! Your video is so helpful!
Main difference is the hardiness and zoning needs. Others are the overall mature size, the color of the foliage and the sheen. I.e. winter gem has a really glossy sheen as if you’d applied wax to it. Very pretty
Great video, just came across it right now. I have a question. I have a few boxwoods that that are lined up on near my walkway and I was wondering if it’ll be ok to shape them up during the heat of summer here in California? I want to round them up, but not sure if it’ll damage or “stress” them out during this heat? They’re about 3 years old and I’ve shaped them up before, but can’t remember exactly what month I did it. Thanks
How far apart did you plant your boxwoods in your garden to form a hedge when you first planted them? I just planted some Green Beauty Boxwoods and spaced them 23 inches apart on center. Thanks.

I do this with hand clippers.. keeps the sphere tighter.
You make it look so easy. Tfs.

Be happy to! Are you subscribed so you’ll be notified?
Linda Vater i sure am!
This is still unclear to me, I feel like I can’t get past the initial shape.
Can we get the same results for a Japanese boxwood?
So, to prune it into a ball shape, you prune it into a ball shape? Damn you the new M Knight.
Thank you for this video

Wait till it cools🍃
How many plants do you need to make a globe or can I use one?

Depends on how quickly you want maturity. I believe mine were on 15 to 18 inch centers. But 23 inches will be fine
Can you trim them in this awful heat? Or should I wait until fall?
I have a box that's been in a pot for 4 years. It's still looking good, but wonder how long they can stay in a pot.
Betsy H I’ve had some in the same pots for up to 8 years
Linda Vater Do you prune the roots?
What about the 1/3 rule and shocking it by taking off too much??
Thanks!
Eu também faço igual a voce essa arte na tesoura
Can I request you use a backdrop please. It's hard to see with all the green. Love your videos
ixtlahuacqueen yes I need to figure out a way to do that. Thank you!
Linda Vater you have inspired me I now have about 4 topiaries. Thank you!
Hold the shears the other way round and that will be easier to create a sphere
Gary Thurston exactly what I thought
Mine keep coming up a little more oval than round😕 guess i need to prune top more
Can these be pruned in the summer?
i always end up with a irregular potato form, bush, not bad, but not good either
Hello have a ? Can u cut Japanese boxwood in to balls and spears
