These include, for example, the common Boxwood, the various false cypresses and beech trees, Common willow and even the Chinese wisteria. An annual cut is necessary. The second group includes specially bred varieties, the spherical crown of which grows on its own. These are often refined on poorly growing substrates and therefore only reach low heights. Depending on the tree species and variety, however, the crowns can become very wide with increasing age. Here, too, an occasional shape cut makes sense.
