Anything that grows 'quick' won't stop growing, so it will need continuing maintenance.
That must be on your cut and paste stash to bring out every other day But what a solid piece of advice it is...and a way to save people from planting the next massive conifer
I know @amancalledgeorge - you know me so well Not just conifers either
@SydRoy - you're an even bigger optimist than I am! That's always going to look terrible, no matter what you trim off! I have to agree with @BobTheGardener. The other conifer ain't too pretty either, and will be sucking up all the moisture around - as will the ivy. There are some lovely conifers, but they're rarely planted with care and consideration.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
