TOPIARY LOW DENSE IS ONE OF THE DRAMATIC FOCAL POINTS IN ANY LANDSCAPE. NO TWO PLANTS GROW EXACTLY THE SAME. SOME HAVE STRAIGHT TRUNKS, SOME HAVE MORE CONTORTED TRUNKS. THEY CAN BE TRAINED WITH SINGLE HEAD OR MORE. MAINTENANCE IS EASY AS TRIMMING IS ONLY ONE TO TWO INCHES OF NEW GROWTH-ABOUT EVERY FIVE WEEKS IN THE SUMMER. IF SUCKERS SHOULD APPEAR THEY CAN BE REMOVED WITH HAND CLIPPERS. THIS IS A VERY HARD TO FIND PLANT. IT PROVIDES A RICH LOOK TO THE LANDSCAPE. IT HAS BEAUTIFUL WHITE FLOWERS IN THE SUMMER AND RED BERRIES IN THE WINTER.
