Whatever purpose you have in mind with your shaped tree, they suit almost any garden. The growth habit is restricted by the frame that is used. With a parasol tree, this is a star-shaped frame made of bamboo sticks. With a trained tree it is a bamboo rack of 120 or 150 cm wide and 150 cm high. The difference in width depends on the type of tree. O₂Tree also has square topiary trees with an steel frame in its range.

Shaped trees are easy to maintain. You can prune a shaped tree annually to ensure that it does not grow too large. You can safely cut off protruding branches. Instructions on watering, fertilisation, location and pruning can be found on this website.
