Topiary

Topiary plants, such as half standard, spiral, or pom-pom trees, are excellent gift options. Frequently used as attractive ornamental features, their appeal lies in their ease of maintenance and the ability to trim them to a specific size or shape. They are often seen displayed in pairs, adding a symmetrical touch when placed on either side of a door or pathway.
