Foldable Topiary Ball Frame – Large

Simply place it over a young topiary-friendly plant (see below for some suggestions), and use it as a trimming guide. The Foldable Topiary Ball Frame makes it easy to create a beautifully sculpted, professional-looking topiary feature in any garden.

Because a frame guides your cuts, it’s much easier to sculpt a plant into a balanced, recognisable shape. This way, you can avoid easy-to-make mistakes with lasting consequences.

Long-Lasting Durability

We make this topiary frame from steel, so it holds its shape and stands up to outdoor conditions season after season. It is presented in a ‘rich rust’ finish giving the frame extra instant appeal in the garden that lets your topiary take centre stage.

Clever, Wrap-Around Design

Unlike more two-dimensional support frames like Lattice, this topiary frame is truly three-dimensional. It is delivered ‘flat’ making transport and storage easy, but folds out into a sphere shape from a pivot at the top and bottom ‘pole’.

This ingenious approach means you can wrap the frame around an already-established plant, or place it over a juvenile one, then adjust the frame to shape. After that, simply trim the plant along the frame’s outline. Consequently, you can consistently train the foliage to the frame’s shape as it grows, adding instant character to garden beds, borders, and entranceways.

Easy Placement

The Foldable Topiary Ball Frame is equipped with a pair of sturdy ground spikes to position the frame in the ground for a stable, freestanding display.

Perfect for Shapeable Plants

This topiary frame is ideal for shaping classic hedging and topiary plants, along with conifers and some Australian natives, including:

• Common or English Box (Buxus sempervirens)
• English Yew (Taxus baccata)
• Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis)
• Lilly Pilly (Syzgium or Acmena)
• Coastal Rosemary (Westringia fruticosa)

Learning More About Topiary

Gardening Australia offers a couple of videos on topiary — one with Costa and another with Meredith.

The Royal Horticultural Society also made a great Advice Guide.

Additionally, topiary as a practice has been around longer than any of us. In fact, some books on the topic have made it to the Public Domain — you can read the 1904 classic “The Book of Topiary” online here.

Finally, if you’d like a physical book with inspiring photography, many retailers offer a range of titles. Here’s what Readings offers.
