Topiary Lollipop Trees
Bring a touch of elegance and structure to your garden with our range of topiary lollipop trees — also known as topiary standards. Topiaries are tree-like plants sculpted into intricate shapes, with standards taking on round tops that are a popular choice for planting in containers or adding height and sophistication to borders, pathways, and entrances. Our selection of evergreen lollipop trees for the garden creates a striking focal point year-round thanks to the height, colour, and character they bring to any outdoor space.
With their dense, lush foliage and neat, symmetrical appearance, topiary standards are ideal for framing doorways to welcome guests or as a focal garden piece to make your landscape area stand out. Plus, their petite size makes them perfectly suited to smaller gardens short on space.

How to style topiary standards in your garden
Topiary standards are a gardener’s dream because they’re incredibly versatile and can be styled in so many different ways to suit your garden’s aesthetic. These lollipop trees look fantastic when lining pathways, framing garden entrances, or placed symmetrically to create a sense of balance in your garden. They also work beautifully in container planting for a contemporary touch.
If you’re looking to integrate them with other hedge plants, consider pairing topiary standards with other garden features like low-growing hedges or flowering plants to create stunning contrasts in texture and colour.
How to care for your topiary lollipops
Looking after your topiary standards is simple, with just a little TLC needed to keep them at their best. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but make sure the soil is well-drained to avoid waterlogging. Then, for a little helping hand, feed them with a balanced plant food in the spring to encourage healthy growth.
To keep your topiary neat and sculpted, regularly trim the foliage, especially during the growing season. Light pruning will maintain the round shape at the top and prevent it from becoming too unruly. You can also give evergreen varieties a light winter trim to remove any dead or damaged growth.
Why choose topiary standards over other topiary shapes?
Topiary lollipops stand out for their versatility, structure, and timeless appeal. Mimicking the natural shape of traditional trees, they offer vertical height without taking up too much ground space, which is ideal for narrow spaces where other shapes might struggle.
As well as being able to choose your topiary shape, you can also shop by species, including Box, Holly, Photinia, and Yew topiary.
