Haircuts!

Well mistake like that are not all bad as it will grow back.

don't worry about it, short back and sides never hurts! It will grow back.

Fantastic piece of topiary.... well done !!
Is there are competition to guess what the shape is supposed to represent ? ;o)

Added to GoYpedia "Pruning". :o))

First one is a heart and the second one is obviously a little piggy, just needs a curly tail :)

Lol. Dee...
good ideas... definitely worth a prize :o)

I turned my laptop all ways and decided its a hedgehog on a stick...
As has been said it will grow back, I always dislike my shrubs for a while when they`ve had a trim but needs must sometimes and it does them good..

I've so far avoided trimming my two shrubs...just not very confident I guess.

You've had a good trim on yours now so it should really take off and make some good leaf structure for you real soon :) Never fear...you've probably shocked it into growth...

It's had a crew cut lol :o) I'm sure it will grow back.
I'm a bit heavy handed with a shears aswell. I keep saying it does them good lol

I think you would make a good hairdresser Rose:)

The top one Rose, you could Cloud Prune it...The bottom one I'd just let it grow back... :))

Thanks Whiston lass, Hywel,and Drc726 for your comments and Olive i'll tell hubby when i cut his! Young daisyd would you believe i actually was a hairdresser in my younger days. Terra thought i'd make it into a competition. All answers on a postcard please and the winner gets the pruned ( or should i say scalped ) shrub.Lincolnshire lass this was my attempt at topiary!Thanks Crissue i will have a go.

Hi Rose, welcome to GOY:-) Will you let us know what shape you were aiming for? I was a big fan of Rolf Harris, but I can't tell what it is yet:-)

Well believe it or not it was supposed to be a lollipop shape. I bought it as a small shrub and i think it actually looked better then!Lol. Thanks for the welcome Bornagain and nice to meet you.

I've thought of having a go at this, well fancied cloud pruning actually, but chickened out:-)

I will be a bit more wary of pruning these again Bornagain.As it's box it's going to take a long time to come back to a decent size.
