Topiary Trees

Types of Indoor & Outdoor Topiary Trees We Sell

Trimming trees and bushes into neat, uniform shapes is a practice that has persisted since the time of the ancient Romans and is becoming more popular. Topiaries are typically evergreen shrubs and trees shaped into balls, spirals and pyramids. However, the only limit is your imagination when it comes to the design of a topiary. Get to know some of the wonderful varieties we stock below.

Photinia and Cupressus

Available from just £100 is a selection of beautiful Photinia and Cupressus plants, each complete with a pot and ready to place in your garden or outside your business premises. These attractive plants are a great introduction to the world of topiary trees, and the latter variety can even grow to heights of 20m.

Camelia Japonica

The Camelia Japonica is a good choice for several reasons. Its dense, glossy-green foliage retains an attractive colour throughout the year and treats owners to beautiful flowers in the spring. It’s also slow-growing, meaning it won’t require as much trimming as other varieties.

Bonsai Trees

Our stunning line of bonsai trees is ideal for anyone looking for a true statement piece. These immaculately sculpted plants are hard to match for elegance, and each bonsai is truly one-of-a-kind.

Red Robin Plants

Red robin plants are known for their distinctive, bright red leaf tips. This attractive variety works well for both hedging and as an ornamental potted topiary plant. Alongside traditional Red Robins, we also sell the Red Robin Compacta, a slower-growing variety that’s ideal for anyone looking for a more compact design.

Choosing a Topiary Tree

Are you struggling to decide which variety to go for? With so many options available here at Olive Grove Oundle, it can be tough to work out which is best for you. Here are a few different factors you should consider:

• Conditions and location: Although all the varieties we offer are suitable for outdoor planting here in the UK, some prefer shadier, more sheltered areas, while others prefer sunnier spots. Before you choose a plant, you should consider where it’s going to be planted to make sure it’s going to be happy in its new home.
• Growth rate: Some of our trees grow more voraciously than others, meaning they won’t need to be pruned quite as often. Plus, some species top out at a lower height than others, so they won’t need as much space to grow. It’s important to consider both the space you have available and the level of TLC you’re willing to give the plant.
• Growing in containers: Smaller ones are better suited to being planted in containers than the large outdoor topiary trees. So, if you’re planning to keep your tree in a pot, we’d recommend selecting a smaller plant, such as a red robin compact.
