I had never even heard of the word ‘topiary’ until I lived in London, England. When I saw a tree that looked like architecture I was told, ‘Yes, they do beautiful topiary in the English countryside’. On the same journey, I mentioned to my beau that I found the rows of boxy cut trees ‘totally awesome’. ‘Oh yes,’ my companion remarked, ‘wonderful hedgerow’. I had never heard of that one either. Dually noted. Here, a little piece of ‘topiary’, New York styles.
