The Gardener's Notepad

There is a fine specimen here on the grounds that is topping out at 7 ft. tall and a good 30 inches wide. A remnant of the old Farr Nursery plantings. With diligent pruning they can be kept incredibly narrow. I saw several examples in a friend's garden that had been clipped and tied into a pole-like shape that were all of 6 ft. tall and no more than 12 inches wide!
