I saw in the back of a truck. Two, at least 10 foot tall living evergreen topiary's. I wanted to follow him and ask them where they are from, cause I have only seen small ones, and ones you have to cut and prune yourself. I don't have patience or time for beautiful huge topiary's but always wanted spiral ones. Can you BUY from a regular green house, 10 foot tall ones? would have these been transplants and how successful are they when they are that big? The only I have ever seen at Gertens, down the road from me, is little like 2 or 4 foot high ones.
I'd call Gertens and ask them, maybe try calling Linder's too... I'm sure if you call around the Cities, you can find some. Otten Brothers is near us (I'm in Plymouth) - they'd be worth a call as well.
Yes, you can buy these at a nursery. You may have to search to find one that has them or who will order them. I would check with a wholesale nursery.
We transplant large trees all of the time. These topiaries are large trees. They should do fine when transplanted when the correct way to plant them is followed.
I have 2 of them ...One on each side of my front door ! Make sure when you plant them, you follow the directions. There is 1 variety here that the bugs eat. That 1 died on me. We had to replace that 1.
So, ask the nursery how to plant it (cow manure mixed w/ soil, best time to plant it, how much to water it and how to trim it, etc...) The nursery here will even plant it for a fee.
If you trim it regularly, it won't lose it's shape ! It is a bit of work...
Believe it or not, I saw some nice ones at SAMS Club about a month ago!
