Crown Topiary balls and domes
Topiary Balls & Topiary Domes
You can use ball shapes as single pieces to give structure, interest and form to your garden. They give an added dimension to your herbaceous borders and the benefit of an evergreen presence for winter enjoyment. You can also place them either side of your front door in planters.
With the issues with the box moth, we try to hold as much stock in other varieties as possible.
Yew (Taxus baccata) ball shapes can be as round as footballs or similar to the London Dome shape. Yew balls are measured and priced by diameter and start at 20cm diameter going up to 170cm diameter.
Balls and domes are available in the following species;
Box (Buxus sempervirens),
English Yew (Taxus baccata),
Holly, Portugal Laurel (Prunus lusitanica)
Ilex crenata Dark Green
Osmanthus
Euonymus jap green spire
The most popular option at the moment is Yew (Taxus baccata) but if you have too much of this in your garden why not try some Osmanthus.
Insider knowledge - Garden designers use Box balls to form cloud hedging, (as often seen in the RHS Chelsea Flower Show) to create different patterns of balls to create the illusion of clouds on or around the lawn.
