Conifer pollarding?

[Treeaddict]

Kind of neat the way they keep these trees at height. Pollarding is probably not the proper term for what this is.

I wouldn't expect conifers to be good candidates for that type of pruning, but it seems to be working well.

You can do lots with conifers, from that type of hedging, full-on wall-type hedging, cloud pruning, topiary, etc.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Certain conifers.

I know a lady with a weeping blue atlas cedar shed done this to for years. It looks cool

Promoting horizontal weeping structure. It's a good species for that.
