PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER VIDEOS ON DIFFERENT SUBJECTS. IT IS RIDICULOUS HOW THIS VIDEO GETS WAY MORE TRAFFIC THAN ANY OF MY OTHERS. THEY ARE ALL JUST AS INFORMATIVE! THANK YOU!

Annoyingly I have to make a point of the shears used in this video as I have had a few comments regarding them.
The shears I have used since day one, and the pair you will see in most of my other topiary videos, are the bacho p51's, they are quite heavy as shears go but i love them and will go through just about anything. Only using these for so long I was always a little hesitant in trying any different, though I have mellowed somewhat these days and will use some others in certain situations. I have mentioned this in the video though people seem to be missing it.
As I am taking off pretty much only new growth here, I don't really need to use the heavy duty p51's and i am just using my clients own fiskars shears, they are quite light and easy to use and have a handy tension adjustment in the centre. They wouldn't be great for cutting into any old wood though are fine for what I needed here

Wow, My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.
Cheers from soggy SE Lonon/Kent. great episode as just bought my 1st 2 small buxus balls. going to grow a bit and make more a dome as opposed to a ball. collect some more of diff sizes ready for a new garden project in a couple of years when buy my house.
some great tips here. thanks
Great video! And GORGEOUS yard! You've given me so much inspiration :) Thank you
Good effort mate. Regular clip with sharp blades. I like Ruffle the box to draw out the stragglers as well.
Thank you for the advice. The garden is beautiful! Am insprired!
A work of art and looks stunning!!
Wow excellent job Sir! I really love topiaries!
Awesome mate, looks mint.
Thanks Joe. Very useful video
To make box domes do you allow bush to grow and then shape it or buy domes
this is a reply for goosecouple, youtube won't let me reply!
Light and air will get round and through the plant more than enough for it to be happy and grow well. The plants are only green and in leaf at the ends. Inside the ball shape of the plant, the stems are very woody with very little leaf, mainly because, as you say, light cannot get through very well. This is unimportant as I am trying to achieve a very tight look, as a result it's impossible to see inside the plants shape anyway without physically having a look. With very shaggy box plants with almost tree like branches and no shape, yes the stems would have leaf all the way along.
No selective pruning. I will only take stems out if they are damaged or diseased, or they are obstructing other stems, or get too heavy to support there own weight, generally more the better when you're after a dense, tight look.
i think the disney gardeners use sheep shears for topiaries (both the scissor and electrical kind)...not that you need any advice from me, but yea, just something i heard
What brand and model are the shears your using please. Such lovely work.
How to get sun light and air into that dense boxwood? Do you selectively prune the it every few years?
Bello!
topiary tree ka hindi name kayhe
Very nicely done. Curious, most of these look similar, what variety of boxwoods are these?
***** yes they are all the same, they are sempervirens
Gardener perfection!! whats the name of the purple flowering plants as background high on the walls?
TomREdwards Thank you :)
I been holding my cutters wrong.
this is a reply suppperrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
How many Buxus tree did you plant in one place to get this tight affect?
Abu Dastagir Just one. The tight effect has nothing to do with how many are planted. Each plant would have started life as a single cutting. Their fullness or tightness, size and general all round health is achieved by years and years (and forever ongoing) of growing and good maintenance. Trimming 3-4 times a year plus all the other things mentioned in my topiary videos will accomplish the tight effect.
The plants in this video were actually planted by my clients some 20+ years ago and when planted, were no more than a foot tall, small scrappy plant you could buy from any hardware store/garden centre. They've managed to keep a couple of photos from back then and it's quite incredible how big they've become over the years. When I started to look after them and this garden around 4-5 years ago, they had reached around a metre in width, but hadn't been maintained well and were in extremely poor shape, they had developed large holes where the stems had dropped under their own weight and needed 2-3 years of good maintenance to get them looking full, tight with no holes or gaps. Since then i have been able to grow them a fair bit bigger.There is a link in the description above to a video with a few shots of the box when I started here, though I didn't take so many photos back then so they're not great, you should be able to make out the big green slumped shapes with holes in that they were.
What about using an electric cutter. Wouldn't it be quicker?
Aman A A Quicker, maybe. As precise? No way.
