The taper is what makes it work in tight positions, because the base occupies little ground while the form still reads at full height. Bhutan cypress takes to this treatment better than most conifers because its foliage is fine enough to hold a sharp edge and vigorous enough to close over a cut face quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy the Pyramid Form\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical Emphasis\u003c\/strong\u003e: The tapered cone lifts the eye and gives a garden bed height without visual bulk.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e: The narrow base fits beside paths, steps and gateways where a rounded topiary would crowd the space.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Definition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fine dense foliage takes a clean clipped face, so the flat sides and apex stay crisp.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeather Hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tolerant of frost, heat and dry inland summers, so the form is not lost in a bad season.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEven Regrowth\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regrowth after clipping is uniform, which means the cone recovers its geometry rather than going lumpy.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGateway Sentinels\u003c\/strong\u003e: A pair either side of an opening reads as a formal threshold.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePath Punctuation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Repeated along a path at even intervals to give a long run rhythm and scale.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParterre Corners\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marks the corners of a clipped hedge parterre or a kitchen garden bed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow Bed Verticals\u003c\/strong\u003e: The tapered base suits a bed only 600 to 800mm deep against a wall or fence.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 to 1.5m where a run of cones should merge into a line.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3m for individually read forms.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn or spring while temperatures are mild.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining and undemanding on fertility.
