Andrew Stark Landscape design with cloud pruned Japanese Maple
Cloud pruning is a unique and artistic technique used to shape plants into soft, billowy cloud-like forms. It originated in Japan and has gained popularity worldwide. This technique involves selectively pruning and training branches to create a sculptural effect, mimicking the appearance of fluffy clouds. Cloud pruning is commonly used on shrubs and trees, including Box hedging plants like English Box, Japanese maples, Myrtus luma and pines. These plants, when skilfully pruned, can add a touch of elegance and serenity to any garden.
