Shape trees and topiary trees

The specific difference between shape trees and topiary trees is that the former relates to the natural shape of the tree, while topiary trees are shaped by pruning. 

Shape trees:

  • Standard trees and half-stem trees

  • Feathered trees

  • Multi-stem trees

  • Weeping trees

  • Columnar trees

  • Globe trees
