How To Plant Hooks Juniper Poodle Topiary
The method in which you would like to grow your Hooks Juniper Poodle Topiary is up to you! If you so choose to grow your topiary via container, there are a few things you should know. As the tree gets older and the root mass continues to grow, you will want to repot into a larger container - this will occur about every two years. Doing so will allow your Topiary to continue to receive the proper amount of water and nutrients needed to thrive. When planting Topiary in the ground, follow the planting instructions in our online planting guide to ensure proper planting methods.
How To Water
After receiving your Hooks Juniper Poodle Topiary, it's time to consider the process of watering. If you choose to plant your Juniper Topiary in the ground, a normal watering schedule of no less than twice a week is recommended until established. On the other hand, if you choose to keep your Poodle Topiary in a container, we recommend watering two to three times a week. Depending on location, you may lessen the amount of water to once a week for container grown trees during the winter months. It would be wise to also keep an eye on local weather conditions and water accordingly during periods of high heat or drought.
How To Fertilize
After receiving your Hooks Juniper Poodle Topiary, it will soon be time to fertilize! We recommend utilizing an all natural fertilizer in spring before the push of new growth and again in fall to ensure a healthy growing period.
How To Prune
Don't let the fear of pruning your Hooks Juniper Poodle Topiary prevent you from purchasing one if you so desire! We've got you covered! When first purchased, your Poodle Topiary will have been properly sheared before leaving the growers location. This gives you some time to admire the work, and see how the shape should be maintained. As a blanket rule of thumb, you should plan to shear your Topiary at least twice a year: once in late spring after the initial flush of new foliage, then again in early fall given the time it had to grow out. Now, you may prune up to three times a year if you plan on keeping it well groomed, however this is not a requirement. Starting from the bottom with a pair of shears, lightly trim each globe, following the shape provided. Repeat this process for each globe until finished. Using smaller pruners after the initial trim will help get into those tight spaces, making it easier to maintain the Poodle shape.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
