Cloud Pruning in new pot...

Love it!

Thanks it must be 20 years old now Annella...

Wow! I always admire these!

Yes, me too, I love cloud pruned shrubs....well done DD!

Looks great

Love it.....I remember in Spain some friends had pruned a few Olive trees like this...no Olives, but they looked fantastic!....:o)

I was going to do this to my big Pittosporum.....then this winter....it died!

Crissue thanks, Janey have never seen it done with Olives, what a shame Karen you must try again with another large shrub....

the pot and the cloud pruning go perfect together, I have just started to get interested in this, what plant is it Dd. Looks like box to me, but im probably wrong :)))

I have been interested in cloud pruning for many years, this must be over 20 years old now......it is box with a yellow edge.

Ooooh, ill look out for a nice half price box and give it a go.

Yes you go for it......YDD.

Oooh, I'm definitely going to have a go at this:-))

BA have just done a big box that was in the border, looks a bit stupid at the moment....

Let me know when you put a pic on:-)

Hi DD...Just thought you might like to know I googled 'Cloud Pruned' Pittisporum pics, and your Cloud Pruned in i'ts new Pot is featured. Have you seen it!!

Fame at last eh:-)

Criss no ......is it really? BA ha ha...have just made a mess of the border cloud pruning the box....lol

Bet you haven't really made a mess of the border Dd...bet it still looks gorgeous:-)

Hi DD I've got two small Box plants grown from cuttings... One is a single stem, with a good head, the other has several stems, they are both slow growing Box, and ready for another prune...I would like to have a go at the 'Cloud Pruning' where to start top or bottom....I've done my Pittisporum, but that is a much softer shrub to do...tips ...s'il vous plait....thanks...

Hi I picked out a leader first as the main stem, and then pruned out all the unwanted branches just keeping the strongest, I do it by eye, I would use the Box with several stems if it was me.....as you say Pittosporum is easier to train, have you put a pic on?
BA I had trampled all over the border with my big feet, the Box was right at the back of the border, so it was very difficult to get at........still our visitors did not notice, luckily lol

Hi DD....I lost my nerve at the end, so have kept them as they were...maybe I'll look for one already done when the sales start...(she says)... :))
Yes I did put a pick on of the pittisporum...I'll look for the page and post it...

How big do they have to be before you start the pruning DD?:-)
