Description
Topiary Domes have a more flattened rounded shape as opposed to the spherical shape of topiary balls and are some of the larger specimen topiary pieces available. With style to match their stature, topiary domes look elegantly attractive and add instant appeal to any garden, driveway, grounds or outdoor space.
English Yew (Taxus baccata) has a dense appearance with its fine conifer-like needle fronds. With bright green spring growth changing to deep green as it grows, its overall appearance is quite different to other topiary species and it looks fantastic in both gardens or containers. Yew's soft yet dense habit also means that it is ideal to clip into shapes with neat, smooth outlines as often seen in the larger and more complex topiary shapes found in formal gardens.
These Topiary Domes will look stunning planted into large containers, standing proudly at an entrance or doorway, planted en masse, in rows or as a statement centrepiece combined with softer plants, such as grasses and perennials, to add a contrast in texture and form. For an alternative planting scheme, plant a topiary dome with other shapes and sizes of topiary to create a topiary 'cloud' garden that's sure to impress and delight for many years whilst adding style, character and general appeal to your home and garden.

Maintaining and Caring for your Topiary
To keep a good shape and tight growth, topiary needs all-round and all-over light so it is incompatible with shade, although potted specimens can be rotated. Clipping should be done when the opportunity, inspiration, enthusiasm and weather all combine to make it possible - in late summer, so that there is the longest period of time (until May or June the following year) to enjoy the tightly clipped shapes. Some enthusiasts clip in early summer too but never clip too early in the year - you must make sure there is no possibility of night frosts. Always use very sharp tools and we recommend that plants are watered first before clipping which helps the cut leaves to heal quickly.
All our topiary is hardy and suitable to withstand all that our weather can throw at us but given the expense of each piece, it is our recommendation that you take particular care to protect topiary - just simple precautions like gently brushing snow off, using pointed rather than flat topped shapes where long periods of snow are normal, providing ventilated shelter from severe winds and ensuring that specimens are well watered in summer and sheltered from very strong sunshine which can burn as much as winter winds.
