Clipped Japanese holly (Ilex crenata) at the Form Plants nursery

Topiary

Topiary balls

Clipped yew balls, 40cm to 110cm

Field-grown Taxus baccata balls, lifted with a root ball and clipped tight. Use them singly in a pot, in pairs at a door, or in drifts through planting.

  • Nine sizes, from 40cm to 110cm across

  • Dense, dark evergreen that holds a crisp curve

  • Happy in sun or shade, in the ground or in a large pot

  • Clip once a year, in late summer

Ball or dome? A ball curves back in underneath, so you see its full round shape. A dome is lower and flatter, and sits right on the soil.
