Definition:
A “conical topiary tree” is a tree or shrub that has been pruned and shaped into a cone form.
Etymology:
The term “topiary” comes from the Latin “topiarius,” meaning “ornamental gardener.” “Conical” describes a cone shape, derived from the Latin “conicus” and Greek “kōnos.” Thus, a conical topiary tree is a plant sculpted into a cone shape by an ornamental gardener.
Description:
Topiary is the horticultural practice of training perennial plants by clipping the foliage and twigs to develop and maintain clearly defined shapes.
