Spiral Topiary

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.

What can I do next?

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...
