Why not add depth to your garden with topiary! Choose from aromatic evergreens, green leaves with golden tips, or dark, glossy, spiky foliage. At King & Co, we offer a range of trees and shrubs ready to shape into striking, ornamental forms that bring nature and design together!
Box Alternatives
1. Ilex crenata. Japanese holly is a top pick for resisting Box blight and Box moth. It has dense foliage that clips well too, this makes it ideal for neat ball or cone shapes.
2. Euonymus ‘Jean Hugues’. This small, compact evergreen shrub has an upright, bushy shape and small, glossy green leaves. The tough foliage handles clipping well. ‘Jean Hugues’ is perfect for edging borders or creating low, formal hedges. It grows to about 1m tall and wide. With a look similar to Box, it makes a great alternative, without the risk of Box blight or Moth.
Spirals & Pom-Poms
We offer Cupressocyparis leylandii ‘Castlewellan Gold’ in spiral and pom-pom shapes. This evergreen conifer has flat sprays of light green, scalelike foliage. In spring and summer, the leaves take on yellow and gold tones, then darken slightly in winter. Trim the young growth twice a year with shears or sturdy scissors to keep the shape sharp and striking.
1/2 Standard Trees
Half standard trees are a fantastic choice for bringing both height and visual interest to smaller gardens. They can also create a particularly striking look when placed near doorways or along driveways. You’ll find it easy to keep their lovely round shape with regular trimming, or you can let them develop into a larger sphere or a charming small tree.
