Are you struggling with a “wonky” topiary or wondering how far back you can actually prune a Myrtle? In today’s video, we are diving deep into the art of topiary maintenance! From sourcing the best compact myrtles to deciding whether to “take it all off” and remove tiers, we’re addressing your most-asked miscellaneous topiary questions.
We also explore the world of “accidental” topiaries—how to take volunteers or neglected garden plants (like Golden Arborvitae and Oakland Holly) and transform them into stunning garden focal points.
In This Video, You’ll Learn:
The Big Debate: Should you remove the bottom ball on a tiered Eugenia topiary?
Pruning & Restoring: How to hard-prune a Myrtle to create a dense, healthy interior—not just an outside veneer.
Rescue Mission: What to do when your boxwood looks “pitiful” on one side or dies back at the bottom.
Topiary Selection: Why Better Boxwood (Renaissance & Babylon Beauty) is our go-to for blight-resistant, heat-tough spheres.
Hidden Gems: How to turn “free” garden volunteers like Cherry Laurel or Juniper into professional-looking specimens.
