I have learned so much from your videos!
I love every video you make and always learn so much. Thank you !!!
❤hello Mr Jim Putnam and Stephany. Miss you guys all the gardeners too.
Thank you for this video. I created a topiary out of a boxwood a couple years ago and kept waiting for it to grow taller. Nice to know I have to limb it up to help it along.
Fun video! I've never done a topiary, but want to make one now! Finished replacing foundation plants this week, and began working in the large grove bed with planting some oakleaf hydrangeas. South-facing flowerbed got 3 butterfly bushes. What I thought was a hydrangea at the northeast corner of the house foundation is a mock orange growing out of control! Have to tame that one and eventually move it into more sun. Found a couple more dwarf palmetto palms coming up in various places in the yard. Ready to get annuals if weather cooperates next week. Hmmm….will have to try a topiary.
Thank you for the "How to" video!
🙋
How did you celebrate World Naked Gardening Day? 😂
Thank you Jim for another informative video. I have wanted to do topiary and now you have definitely inspired me to try. Appreciate the tips about trimming balls downward and all the steps to success. You and Steph are the best!
I have a few small topiaries. One boxwood had a browned out branch after winter which I pruned off. I see now I’m getting a bit more browning. What would be causing this and is there anything to do. I did give it plant tone awhile ago along with everything else.
I have a new encore azalea and one of the stems died back. I thought about trees forming it since it has one stem now.
Great video. Your topiary are looking good! Some of those clippings look good for rooting…
I have 2 Night Light Chamaecyparis I have pruned into ball forms. Inspired by you and the fact I am from Paris, IL!
I love the look of topiaries, and now have 2 multi-stem juniper topiaries at the end of my home’s walkway. I also had to remove 2 cryptomeria japonica from my breezeway bc they were progressively dying from the ground up. Not sure why, but now you’ve inspired me to make them into topiaries to use elsewhere in my garden!! Thanks again!
Thank you Mr Jim for the lovely video. Very informative
This may be a stupid question, but novice here, we have 3 conical boxwoods that we inherited when we bought our house, I can only guesstimate that they are about 10+ years old. They aren't terrible but I have other plans for the area they are in, I tried digging around the roots to attempt to transplant but that did not go so well. My question is whether I can take them from a conical shape to a large but shorter sphere, will they rebound/fill in or am I better off soliciting help to just transplant elsewhere? Thanks so much for all the informative videos!
I love boxwoods, have several in my landscape but hadn’t the courage to chop them up into a topiary.
Jim, what is the silver blue conifer in the upper left corner of the screen? It’s the The fluffy one that is visible most of the time you prune the two ball variegated topiary. It is gorgeous! Thanks for these videos! You are a font of knowledge !
Love it when you say clearance! I go to the store in hopes of finding crispies lol
Really great video! I have a lemon lime bush (can’t find the name for it) growing on one trunk and all this time I thought I needed to fix it so it could have multiple stems. Not anymore! Can’t wait to make it a topiary tomorrow! Why I had not thought of that, I’m not sure. Thank you!
