Topiary Scotch Pine

Topiary Scotch Pine (Pinus sylvestris ‘Topiary’) is an evergreen form sold for sculpted shapes such as spheres and clouds. Its eventual size depends on the form and pruning, and exact listings give substantially different mature dimensions. ## Form and landscape use Centre Jardin Cloutier describes this named form as a Scots pine cultivated for topiary, while LandscapeDirect lists it as a specimen or group-planting evergreen. Their size figures differ sharply, so the existing variable size entry is retained rather than treating either seller’s dimensions as universal. [Centre Jardin Cloutier](https://botanixcloutier.ca/en/products/pinus-sylvestris-topiary) and [LandscapeDirect](https://landscapedirect.ca/products/topiary-scotch-pine) identify the topiary form. ## Growing conditions The exact plant listings support a sunny site and USDA Zones 3–7. Centre Jardin Cloutier recommends well-drained soil and notes that the plant may be shaped as a sphere or cloud. ## Maintenance Prune selectively to maintain the chosen outline, allowing for the fact that clipped shape and local growing conditions affect both height and spread. Keep the root area well drained, especially while the plant establishes.
