|
Below are just some of the balls we can provide. If you would like more information on anything detailed below or have a specific request, please do not hesitate to contact us. |
|
Ball (Buxus sempervirens)
|
Description
|
 |
The most common form of box used for all topiary shapes,
due to its very dense dark green foliage. Available in diameter sizes
from 20cm - 100cm+.
|
|
Ball ('Elegantissima')
|
Description
|
 |
Elegantissima is very slow growing therefore large balls in this variety are not so common. It does however form a relatively dense ball but can look less so due to its very light coloured foliage. Available from 20cm - 65cm. |
|
Ball (microphylla
'Faulkner') |
Description |
|
|
Balls made from 'Faulkner' have a slightly looser habit than those made from sempervirens and are a fresher looking apple green. Available from 30cm upwards. |
|
Ball ('Latifolia
Maculata')
|
Description
|
 |
In a sunny position the new foliage on this plant is a golden yellow, with the older growth variegated. The leaves are larger than those of the sempervirens, but it does make a nice dense ball. Available in sizes from 30cm upwards. |
|
Ball ('Rotundifolia')
|
Description
|
 |
'Rotundifloia' is ideal for a large garden as it is relatively quick growing. It has large glossy dark green leaves and makes a good loose ball. Looks better in the larger sizes. |
|
Bay Balls
|
Description
|
 |
Laurus nobilis, more commonly known as Bay is suitable for basic topiary shapes such as balls, cones and standards. Due to the size of the leaves they look better as larger pieces. We have balls available from 60cm upwards. |
|
Taxus baccata Balls
|
Description
|
 |
Taxus baccata makes superb dense balls. Available from 40cm upwards. However they always look better in the larger sizes. |
