Hello dirty Harry I use baggesens gold for my topiary it grows very fast and its so easy to take cuttings I enclose a few of them I have more in the back can get additive.
No I tend to when giving them a hair cut I push some of the growth in the direction that I need it, with baggesens gold it grows very fast in getting a project going fast but you then when shape is done you do have to give it a hair cut more often than box but you don't get box blight and after years of growing that's last thing you want, if you know anyone or anyone near by with baggesens gold ask for a few cuttings they take so easy before you know it they are romping away.
