Hello Everyone,
Ever since I was young I have found those neatly shaped shrubs in the front of homes to be very attractive. (e.g. spiral shrubs, poodle tiers, cones) I was wondering...can you prune/shape any evergreen shrub, or varieties like it? We have two 'Thuja Occidentalis'' in front of our home and one other evergreen shrub (Sorry I do not know the name of it). The Occidentalis' are about 5 and a half feet tall and have been that way for about 3 years (the shrubs are 12 years old).
If it is possible to prune these shrubs, here's what I would like to do:
1) form the 'Thuja's' into poodle tier shrubs (3 balls).
2) form the unknown into a spiral shrub.
OF COURSE I WOULDN'T START THIS PROJECT UNTIL LATE APRIL AT THE EARLIEST!!
Thanks, have a good one.
