NY See Tours has been conducting Central Park Tours for about six years since I moved uptown to Harlem from midtown Manhattan. Harlem sits just North of the Park. Like most New Yorkers, I knew very little about the North Woods of Central Park. I’ll share the Park with you in this blog and the enchanted landscape I have grown to admire and love. It was my refuge and savior during the pandemic, so I am ever grateful for that. I want to share my Central Park tours with you.
Fred Pflantzer, the proprietor of NY See Tours, is a rare breed, a native New Yorker. Born on the lower East side of Manhattan, Fred has never lost his passion for all things New York, his charming NY accent, or his sense of humor. Fred has been a licensed professional tour guide since 2010.
NY See Tours is a trusted and well-reviewed tour agency that has joyfully provided unforgettable NYC tours for numerous individuals, couples, families, and friends since 2010.
Central Park is 843 acres (341 hectares). It sits in the center of Manhattan Island from 60th Street north to 110th St. Originally, the Park extended to only 106th street. The Park’s creators, Frederick Law Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, and Jacob Rey Mould, were enchanted by the terrain above 106th Street. As a result, they deemed it “the highest ideal of land for a park to be built on.” So, it was purchased in 1859 and included in the design.
The area is a combination of pastoral and picturesque land that the creators felt would give the visitor an appreciation for the “beauties of nature.” By rerouting a natural stream, they created waterfalls and small lakes that can be reached via stone bridges and paths that blend harmoniously into the least engineered landscape in the Park. On our Central Park walking tour, you will visit this and other intriguing sections of the Park.
The North Wood abounds with waterfalls, ravines, deeply wooded arbors, a world-renowned bird sanctuary, and a willow-shaded loch. On our Central Park walking tour, you’ll travel along sun-dappled lanes, with bird calls echoing in your ears. A brave little downy woodpecker will eat nuts from your hand if you’re lucky. Along the way, you will discover little-visited areas of the Park. A revelation to New Yorkers and visitors alike.
Over forty-million people a year visit Central Park. It is one of the most famous green spaces in the world in one of the planet’s greenest cities and one of the best for New York outdoor activities. Less than 10% of the people who visit the park explore the Northern end.
The builders, Olmsted, Vaux, and Mould, had one overarching philosophy: “nature, nature, nature and a little architecture.” On our Central Park Secrets tour, you will see some of the beautiful stone, cast iron, wood bridges, and lakes built by the designers.
In the North Woods, you’ll see the only waterfalls in the Park. One of the first places you will see is the Pool. One of seven man-made bodies of water in the Park. The Pool extends from 102nd Street to 103rd Street. Surrounded by willow trees, cypresses, sycamores, and London plane trees, the Pool is home to turtles, countless ducks, geese, and other aquatic birds. On a bright sunny day, the willows evoke Monet and the gardens of Giverny. If lucky, you’ll see gorgeous plumed wood ducks or teals. One of the most graceful aquatic creatures is the egret. They inhabit the lake’s perimeter, hunting fish, frogs, and birds. They have great patience and will wait motionlessly while stalking their prey. This New York tour is for families. Kids love seeing the frogs and turtles that call the Park home.
In future writings, I will share other areas seen on our Central Park walking tour. We’ll cover the Southern parts of the Park, its center, and other aspects that make it so beautiful and enchanting. Stick with us; our explorations have just begun.

2 Projects for Lighting Revolution


Works are underway this week to build an additional nine parklets with gardens and public seating along Commercial Road in Morwell, taking the total to 12 parklets in the Central Business District.
The parklets are a feature of the Morwell CBD revitalisation project to bring more people into the Morwell CBD to support local businesses.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester secured $1.75 million toward the project and said he was pleased to see local company ACE Earthmoving had been awarded the contract to undertake civil construction works. “We’ve already seen the first stage completed in front of the Latrobe City Council offices,” Mr Chester said.
“This project is designed to encourage more investment into the Morwell CBD by making the shopping district more attractive.”
Mr Chester said works would be staged in 100 metre increments working clockwise from the council office, towards Legacy place, over the road to Tarwin Street and back along Commercial Road to Hazelwood Road.
It is anticipated each stage will take around six weeks to complete.
The ‘gathering space’ in Tarwin Street will become a multipurpose event space with moveable planter boxes and seating so it can be adapted for community events or changing needs.
Free public Wi-Fi will be extended to all the new areas.
“There will be some disruption to Commercial Road during construction but the end result will be well worth the short term inconvenience,” Mr Chester said.
“This project will bring more green spaces into the Morwell CBD and make the area a welcoming space for shoppers and community members.
It will be a place that locals will be proud to visit and to share with visitors to the region.”
The CBD Revitalisation Project is due for completion by the end of November and will complement other federally funded projects in the area under construction including Morwell Recreation Reserve ($5 million from the Federal Government) and the Morwell-Traralgon Shared Pathway ($1.6 million).

Burning Bush ~ Euonymus alatus
This Burning Bush would be found by the forsythia and could be used as a contrasting fall foliage ornamental. It was originally imported to the US in 1860 as an ornamental shrub but sadly it spreads rapidly and is now found along roadsides, forests edges, meadows, fields, shrublands, or thickets. In Massachusetts, it's considered invasive while in Maine, it's actually prohibited. This is one of my favorite trees because I've seen it a lot around Massachusetts and even though birds can easily spread the seeds, I really have come to appreciate the red autumn foliage on it.

DIG 1/4" in. Black Vinyl Tubing (.160 ID x .220 OD)
DIGâ€™s 1/4" in. (.156 ID x .245 OD) commercial-grade Vinyl Micro Tubing is available in black or brown and in coil lengths of 50', 100' and 500'. Made of high quality vinyl, the micro tubing is flexible and relatively soft. It is manufactured with an antioxidant and contains a minimum of 2% concentrated Carbon Black to protect the finished product from thermal degradation. The vinyl micro tubing is used in a wide range of drip irrigation applications, including as feeder lines from the 1/2" in. drip tubing to extend drip emitters or micro sprinklers to the plants, as extensions from the 4, 6 and 12-outlet drip manifolds or as the supply line for a complete 1/4" in. drip system.
The 1/4" in. poly micro tubing is used as the feeder line from the 1/2" in. drip tubing to the plant area or plant locations. At the end of the micro tubing, a drip emitter, micro sprayer, 1/4" in. dripline or micro sprinkler can be added. Like the 1/2" in. drip tubing, the micro tubing is suitable for any commercial or residential application. The micro tubing may be installed above the ground and covered with mulch to blend with the landscape, or extended from the 1/2" in. drip tubing and installed below the ground. The micro tubing may also be used as the sole supply line for a small complete system for containers and potted patio gardens.
Using the micro tubing as a feeder line:
- To connect the micro tubing to the 1/2" in. drip tubing, first force a 1/4" in. barb or 1/4" in. tee (model H80A or H80B for barb and model H82A or H82B for 1/4" in. tee) into the end of the micro tubing, then use the punch (model D44) to make a hole in the drip tubing.
- Insert the barb into the hole in the drip tubing. Use the micro tubing as a feeder line to reach a plant or cluster of plants away from the drip tubing and install a drip emitter, micro sprinkler or micro sprayer at the end of the micro tubing.
Using the micro tubing as a basis for a complete system:
- Connect the 1/4" in. poly micro tubing to the 1/4" in. hose thread adapter [model C37B] by forcing the end of the micro tubing into the compression side of the adapter while moving the tubing from side to side.
- Uncoil the micro tubing and lay it out adjacent to the plants to be irrigated.
- Near each plant or container, cut the tubing and install a 1/4" in. tee (#H82A) or in-line dripper (#WL110B).
- Connect another length of 1/4" in. micro tubing to the side outlet of the 1/4" in. tee and extend it out to the plant or container.
- Open the supply valve momentarily and flush out the line[s] and then install a dripper (or other emission device) at the end of the micro-tubing.
- Secure the dripper in place by installing a stabilizer stake (#P39B) to the micro tubing next to the dripper.
- Available in 50', 100’ and 500' coils
- Contains a minimum of 2% concentrated Carbon Black and an antioxidant to protect the drip tubing from thermal degradation
- Use with 1/4" in. barbed fittings
- Softer, more flexible and easier to use than poly micro tubing
- Meets the demand of micro irrigation systems for above- or below-ground layouts in agricultural, landscape and residential gardening installations
- Interchangeable with other manufacturers’ brands of the same OD size micro tubing
- Available in black colors only


|I've heard that red leaves are the result of sugar content; if your maple produces only brown leaves in the fall, would it be silly to water in late summer with sugared water?|
|What a novel idea! Unfortunately, it won t work. Some maple cultivars have gorgeous leaf color in the fall and others don t. It s genetic. For instance, Trident maples color beautifully but Big-Leaf maples only turn yellow, then brown.
The intensity of color is controlled by environmental conditions - day length, temperature and drought. If you want lovely fall color, try planting Paperbark, Japanese, or Red Maple in your yard.


1. It Lessens the Risk of Flooding
Retaining walls prevent flooding by providing a barrier between the water and your home. They can also prevent water from pooling on your property by providing a change in elevation and a way to redirect the flow downhill.
If you’re not so handy with a hammer, you can find professionals like retaining walls Mount Barker. This is especially important if your area is particularly prone to flooding. You’ll want a specialized local company to help.
You don’t want water damaging your home. That includes your basement. Learn more here about dealing with a flooded basement. A retaining wall can help keep flooding water away from your home, thus preventing basement flooding.
2. It Slows Soil Erosion
Soil erosion is caused by wind, rain, and flooding. This phenomenon is particularly bad on developed land. This is due to the loss of trees and other native plant life that would otherwise hold the soil in place.
A retaining wall will hold your soil in place by providing a barrier to stop it before it moves too much. Soil erosion is more pronounced if your land is on an incline, which is all the more reason to put up some walls.
3. It Protects Your Property
Flooding and soil erosion are destructive and even dangerous. Flooding causes water damage, washes away dirt and plants, destroys vehicles, and is a health risk to anyone on the property.
Losing soil around your home can weaken the foundation, leading to structural damage down the line. Soil erosion can block pathways or drainage systems, and extreme erosion can cause landslides. Even a landslide on a small scale is dangerous and expensive to come back from.
Retaining walls are an investment for both your property and your safety. They stop the disaster before it happens and can save you thousands down the line.
4. It Protects Your Neighbor’s Property
When it comes to erosion, it’s not just you. Anyone downhill of you is at risk from the loss of your rocks and soil. You may even be held legally responsible for damage or injuries, which is much more expensive than the cost of a retaining wall.
Even before the damage happens, you can get fined if local authorities decide that your property is unsafe and not well maintained. Retaining walls are part of avoiding a problem.
5. It Saves Money
These walls can save you a lot of money from erosion and water damage in the long run. The upfront cost correlates directly with how long the barrier will last, with concrete being the cheapest option.
You may even see that investment when you sell your property as they are attractive and a form of lawn maintenance. The increased curb appeal could mean a high price point.
6. It Looks Attractive
When done well, retaining walls are beautiful and can be used as decorative pieces to bring the whole yard together. The wall can be made out of stone or concrete in many styles and colors so that you can coordinate it with the rest of your home and yard.
7. It Creates New Spaces
It’s challenging to build or host activities on a slope. If you add a retaining wall, the soil will build up behind it to create a relatively flat surface. This is much easier to work with and is perfect for gardens or patios.
Is a Retaining Wall Right for You?
If you could benefit from any of these advantages, you should consider installing a retaining wall. You can build it yourself or hire a professional. Either way, it will protect your home for years to come.

A green park in Bangkok is undergoing a major expansion to become a mini-forest in the heart of the city.
The 72-hectare Benjakitti Forest Park offers a nature trail stretching nearly 6 kilometres, with an area for joggers and bikers alongside a huge pond.
Footage shows the progress so fat on January 5.
As an ‘upgrade,’ the forest park has an indoor gym and outdoor auditorium, as well as a 1.3-kilometre walkway called ‘The Green Mile’ connecting it to the nearby Lumphini eco-park.
The renovations and expansions started in 2016 and are almost done so locals and tourists could expect complete access to the entire project by February.


Q.What Pot Size To Choose For 2-3’ Dry Root Nut Trees
I’m planning to use smart pot reusable fabric planters for 30ea 2-3’ dry root trees please and ordered 1 gal pots. Should I start smaller and transplant after a year of growth or plant directly into the 1 gal pots? I’d so what size to start? Thanks in advance
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
It's important not to use containers that are much larger than the rootball because the extra moisture held in the potting soil can cause root rot. But for trees, the 1 gallon pots should be fine. You don't want the pots too small or they will tip over as the tree grows. Just make sure the soil is very well draining. You can add perlite to the mix if needed.

Many people enjoy landscaping. It’s a more popular hobby than you’d think, and it’s not as hard to learn as it may seem. This article is full of tips and techniques to help beginners learn the basics of landscaping and equip them to create changes in their own yards that they can be proud of.
When you landscape, you need to understand the different species of plants to ensure that things are grown in the appropriate soil and at the appropriate times. You must always consider the seasons when you landscape, as well. It is imperative that you think about these things before planting so that your landscape is successful.
While it may be tempting to have a solid cover installed over your out door space, it is a much better idea to install shade bars that are open. Less of the area will be covered, since there is open space, but it will allow more heat to escape so that you will be cooler.
You should know that prices fluctuate from one season to the other. You should compare prices for the materials you need and wait for the right moment to buy them. Buying in large quantities is also a good way to save money: do not be afraid to stock materials you know you will use later.
When selecting plants for your landscaping, ensure that the needs of each plant are properly addressed. Be careful not to put plants that need sun in shady spots. Don’t plant a tree in an area where it can’t grow to its full capacity. Different plants may thrive in different areas of your lawn so plan carefully.
Now that you’ve read this article, you should know enough to get started with landscaping. You haven’t learned everything there is to learn and you should always keep learning. However, this article has given you some basics, so that you can go out and experiment with your own yard.


Learning about the basic principles of landscape design allows you to better define your landscape project. This is important when it comes to finding the right team to help you design, install, and maintain it. There are four main principles to consider.
Size may seem like the most obvious principle of landscape design but it still requires thoughtful planning both in terms of absolute and relative proportion. Absolute proportion refers to the scale or size of an object, while relative proportion refers to the scale or size of an object in relation to other objects. When it comes to landscape design, proportion is often defined in relation to the human scale. Other relevant scales include the size of the house and yard.
This principle revolves around a sense of equality. There are two types of balance in design: symmetrical and asymmetrical. Symmetrical balance exists when either side of the landscape is designed identically, while asymmetrical balance exists when landscapes use different objects with similar visual weight. As long as landscapes create equal visual attraction around a real or imaginary central axis, balance can be achieved.
This principle refers to the art of creating patterns or sequences without under or over using elements of design. This includes the repetition of line, form, color, or texture, or a combination of these. For example, alternation will include a minor change in sequences, inversion will include opposite characteristics, and gradation will include slightly changing characteristics. The right type and amount of repetition differs for each project and should be carefully planned. Too much repetition can create monotony, while too little can create confusion.
Last but not least, this principle relies on consistency to build cohesion among different elements of a landscape creating a common unit. Sometimes referred to as harmony, this principle is about all the elements fitting together in a way that communicates a single theme. It follows that the best way to create unity is to choose a theme or style when designing a landscape. For example, Mediterranean, Zen, or tropical gardens.
You now have a basic understanding of the principles of design. Click here to understand the elements.

More Skyscrapers in Abu Dhabi
For a short time now, the lush Corniche of Abu Dhabi, the “garden of the Gulf”, has been home to the highest building of the Arabian metropolis. The sweeping shape of the new headquarters of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is a true eye-catcher on the skyline of the Persian Gulf designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.
The design of the architects was inspired both by traditional Arabian architecture and the situation of the building in the green coastal area of the city. The ensemble consists of two slender glass towers which rise up to 185 metres. Their shape reminds you of sails in the wind and sand dunes. The lower of the two wings fits in perfectly to the existing urban pattern. The higher of the two opens up the building towards the sea and points towards Mecca. A central atrium, based on the designs of traditional oriental gardens, links the two office towers. In this way, the surrounding green seems to be actually drawn right into the building.

In Britain, woodland expansion has been encouraged through a number of financial incentives, which range from schemes that encourage almost any contribution to the potential woodland resource, to grant schemes that have set out to restore connectivity to remnant ancient woodland.
This study assessed the success of spatial targeting of new woodland planting on the Isle of Wight implemented through grant aid in the JIGSAW scheme (Joining and Increasing Grant Scheme for Ancient Woodland).
The re-development of broadleaf woodland was tested using eight indicators – six commonly used landscape structural metrics, and two indicators of functional networks. The spatial targeting did appear successful, when compared to an equivalent area of untargeted grant-aided woodland expansion.
The map shows the distribution of woodland in the north east of the Isle of Wight, and the locations of new planting applied for under each scheme:
- Green - broadleaf woodland
- Blue - woodland grant scheme (WGS) applications with no spatial targeting
- Red - JIGSAW planting aimed at joinin ancient woodland patches.
Simple landscape structure metrics (see graphs) showed that:
- Woodland Grant Scheme planting (WGS) increased the number of woodlands but decreased the mean size of woodlands.
- JIGSAW planting, which was targeted at decreasing fragmentation, meant that not only was the mean size of woodlands increased, but the total number of woodlands actually slightly decreased, indicating that established woodlands had been linked together.


Cobblestones meaning refers to small natural stones used for paving. They are usually made of limestone, granite, or other natural stones. They are classic and exude an old-world charm.
Many homeowners use manufactured cobblestones for outdoor applications in their gardens, pathways, driveways, etc.
Our Cobblestone pavers come in a variety of colors, and can be installed in any unique pattern.
Here are 7 advantages of using Cobblestone Pavers:
Cobblestones are known for their strength and longevity. They can withstand heavy loads and continuous traffic without showing significant wear and tear.
Cobblestones provide a charming and timeless appearance that adds character and historical charm to urban and rural landscapes. Their irregular shapes and natural colors create visually appealing patterns and textures.
The rough and uneven texture of cobblestones offers good traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet or icy conditions.
Cobblestones generally require minimal maintenance. They can handle extreme weather conditions and do not require regular sealing or resurfacing like some other paving materials.
Cobblestones are typically made from natural materials like Limestone, Granite, or Basalt, which are abundant and renewable resources. They have a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic paving materials.
The individual cobblestones can shift slightly within the surface, providing some flexibility to the pavement. This can help absorb ground movements and prevent cracking or damage to the entire pavement.
7.Heritage and Culture:
In historic cities and towns, cobblestone streets contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage and maintain a sense of place. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection to the past.


Why No One Talks About Houses Anymore
Landscape design is not an easy job and it is for this reason that most people will always hire the professionals to have the job done for them. With this as well stated, the other challenge that many home owners face when it comes to this need is the choice of the best of the landscape designers. In the market are a number of the landscape design companies today and as such there happens to be so much competition, a fact which makes the whole deal better as a result of the fact that there are better offers on the prices. However, as a consumer of the services of the hardscape designers, you need to be aware of the fact that they are not all the same as they may appear to be and as such you must do a little bit of some background research into the contractors to find out more about them and as such make the most appropriate decision when it comes to the choice of the design companies. Take a look at what has been given below for the tips that will be useful in your choice of the very best of the landscape design companies to handle your landscape design. The tips that are given below are actually designed to make the task that has been much of a challenge, that of finding the best of the landscape design companies, make it easier as we have already noted the fact that this is never going to be so much of an easy task anyway and as such making it so important to make use of these tips.
First and foremost, what you will have to do as you look for the best of the landscape designers is to have a check at their licensing statuses. The one rule that you should never ever compromise on as you contract the landscape designers to deal with is that of never entering a contract with a landscape designer who is not licensed. You need to look out for licenses which the contractor has and these actually include those such as the general liability licenses, the nursery certificates to mention but a few. It is however a fact that the certificates will always differ from one state to the other and as such you need to bear this in mind always.
On top of this is the need to have a look at the nature of the charges that the contractor will have for the services that they will be offering you. Looking at this need, you will realize that what most of the homeowners and property owners will always be considering will be the affordability of the landscape designer company’s services. There are those companies that will offer you a flat rate offer for the rates and charges for the services while still there are those who will get you more personalized rates as they look at the nature and size of your garden and all the needs that will be there.


Landscaping ideas, opinions, etc on pics
See pics below first...
You can see the first pic is an as-is, while the second is a sketch I just roughed out.
Ive cleared out the area inside the walkway, but am now planning on redoing the area on the left as well.
That area to the right of the porch in about 9x9 feet tops. In the sketch, I dropped in a little tree. I need some help picking out what tree would work there.
Obviously it need to fit the space, but I'd like it to be not very dense so it's not blocking the window. In addition, I'd like it to break the plane of the roof line to break up the space, so mature height would be 10-12 feet tops.
Any thoughts on what would work there? I'm a bit picky about trees. Would be nice to get an ornamental...at least something that bloomed in the spring. I really wanted a magnolia, such as an 'Ann', but I think it will be too dense.
Also, if anyone has any other suggestions overall, it's appreciated. The rest of the landscape is a mix of boxwoods, azaeleas, some yellow grass of some kind, and assorted annuals.


Commonly known as desert roses, and comes from Africa and Middle East. They grow to about 2 metres high and come in many colours. Adenium love the heat, tropical climates ideal growing conditions includes full sun and rich and well drained soil.
They are tough plants but be careful not to water them to often as they will riot, too little they will drop their flowers.
Go well in pots, or the garden.


A relatively new type of driveway can be yours with the expertise and the knowledge of the team at L Murphy Construction Ltd. A resin bound driveway could just be what you are looking for to create a striking, superb finish that will compliment your property. Our experienced team can design and install this new type of driveway for you!
So what is resin bound?
Resin bond is a blend of natural stones or aggregates bound together with a strong durable UV stable resin. There are many types of stones and aggregates available on today’s market such as granite, gravel, shingle and quartz. Once you have chosen the stone or aggregate, you then need to choose the size of the stones because each size and shape changes the look of the paving. The shape, either angular or smooth is a personal preference and then obviously the colour needs to be decided upon. You can choose from one single colour to create a uniform look to your paving or you can mix a few different coloured stones together to create a unique look for your driveway, in the process creating a distinguished look that will be unique to your property.
Once the stones and the resin are mixed together, it is then put onto your driveway and finished by hand to create a seamless and superbly smooth finish. With the resin, you can either choose a transparent or coloured resin.
Different borders, steps, kerbs, curves and shapes can be achieved by choosing different colour combinations for these parts of the driveway or patio.


Ayers Saint Gross developed the master plan for this 881-acre College of Charleston property, which is under a preservation easement on the Intercoastal Waterway and Stono River west of Charleston, South Carolina. The long-range vision calls for ecologically sensitive education facilities for executives and students. Also included are field stations in the various habitats of the property. Ayers Saint Gross designed and implemented a 4.3-mile nature trail with site wayfinding and interpretive signage, the renovation of the existing artist’s studio, and the new Meeting Barn for social events, conferences, and lectures. The site provides refuge to a variety of wildlife and plant habitats.

Trees have always been one of the most impressive design elements in many ornamental gardens. A tree becomes even more impressive when its crown is as close as possible to a real sphere. Even if the form can sometimes be artificially created and thus imposed more or less clearly on almost every tree, some varieties are naturally far closer to this ideal than others. Easy-care varieties, as we present them below, prove to be particularly easy-care plants due to their growth characteristics, and they can be maintained as spherical trees with comparatively little effort in terms of pruning and care.
What exactly is a ball tree?
The concept of the ball tree falls again and again in connection with garden design and parks. But how exactly is a spherical tree defined? Because unlike with technical issues, there is no absolutely undisputed and sharply defined definition. Nevertheless, two types of spherical tree can be clearly distinguished:
1. The natural ball tree - By nature, it has a growth habit that is very spherical. In addition, a mostly dense, flat growth enhances the spatial impression of the crown shape.
2. The artificial spherical tree - This is a tree whose crown is deliberately shaped into a mostly almost perfect ball through targeted pruning measures. Suitable tree species can be found in the garden in the form of strongly branching, particularly densely growing species that retain the given shape and are additionally compacted for a particularly impressive look.
Most ball trees, especially those that are easy to care for, usually have both characteristics. On the one hand, they already have a uniform spherical crown due to their natural growth. If necessary, they can also be easily cut into shape and, thanks to a particularly dense crown, offer good conditions for abstracting the natural shape again in a targeted manner and thus creating the perfect symbiosis of nature and geometry.
notice: Although the absolute growth height initially has nothing to do with the spherical shape, it is noticeable that small tree species in particular are grown in spherical shape or are cut into spherical trees. One of the main reasons for this is that the branches and twigs are farther apart on large trees. The greater the distance between them, the more difficult it is to perceive the spherical shape due to the gaps that arise.
These types of trees are particularly well-suited to permanently creating a perfect ball tree in your own garden with little effort:
If you look at public space as the most common place where typical spherical trees are used, it is noticeable that the trees that are traditionally used are limited to just a few species. Their use is based not least on their high insensitivity and the low maintenance effort. They already have a naturally very round crown and only need a little pruning, if at all.
Globe maple (Globosum)
- Growth height: up to 6 meters
- Growth form: initially clearly round, with increasing age flattened spherical and weak-growing,
- Other: Crown diameter around 5 to 6 metres, annual increase at around 15 centimeters in height and width
Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia Umbraculifera)
danger: Often referred to as spherical acacia!
- Growth height: around 5 to 6 meters
- Growth form: densely branched, opaque crown, almost perfect spherical shape
- Other: very striking appearance due to delicate, strongly pinnate leaves with numerous leaflets
Trumpet tree (Catalpa bignonioides 'Nana')
- Growth height: as a spherical shape 4 to 6 meters (compared to "normal" shape with up to 15 meters)
- Growth form: spreading flat ball with overhanging shoots
- Other: annual growth between 20 and 30 centimeters
Other round growing shrubs
In addition to these widespread species, there are numerous other spherical shapes of different types in tree nurseries, which convince with their very own look, but are all just as easy to care for and naturally appear to grow round.
Field maple (Acer campestre Compactum)
- Height of growth: shrub-like up to 5 to 7 metres, only rarely up to 10 metres
- Growth form: very bushy to spherical, typical tall tree shape usually only clearly legible after targeted pruning or grafting
- Other: slow growing
Swamp Oak (Quercus palustris)
- Growth height: about 3 to 5 meters
- Growth form: smooth spherical
- Other: Crown diameter mostly between 3 and 4 meters, rarely up to 5 meters, very slow growing
Hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata 'Paul's Scarlet' + Punicea + Punicea Flore Pleno)
- Growth height: 5 to 7 meters
- Growth habit: initially slender, becoming broader and more spherical when old
- Other: crown width 3.5 to 5 meters
Refined spherical trees
In addition to real trees, woody plants are also used today, which are particularly characterized by their insensitive properties, but grow more like a bush than real trees. Here, as part of the rearing by the gardener, there is already a refinement to a high-stemmed plant, so that the bushy, spherical growth of the actual species is combined with the high-stemmed nature of a carrier species for an even more attractive appearance.
Gingko (Biloba Mariken)
- Growth height: 0.8 to 2 meters
- Growth habit: very compact and dense, initially upright, later much more spherical
- Other: pruning of emerging shoots necessary for ideal spherical shape, but often strong odor nuisance due to fermenting or decaying fruits of female trees
Sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua "Gum Ball")
- Growth height: 3 to 5 meters
- Growth form: round and very spherical
- Other: crown diameter up to 4 meters
Wild Cherry (Prunus fruticosa Globosa)
danger: also found as spherical cherry or dwarf cherry!
- Height of growth: up to a maximum of 5 meters when old
- Growth habit: relatively light, slightly branched crown with a clear spherical shape
- Other: very low demands on soil and environment, is considered to be very robust
Trees that tolerate pruning
In addition to these predominantly natural spherical trees, tree species that are particularly easy to cut can also be pruned into the perfect spherical shape. The particularly easy-care types are characterized by a very good compatibility of the shape and a quick closing of cut gaps. Thanks to the possibility of a second topiary in the late year, they can be easily shaped even for beginners, as mistakes can be corrected again in a short time.
False cypress (Chamaecyparis)
- Growth height: approx. 2 to 3 meters
- Growth form: very dense growth, opaque crown
- Other: Due to the high sheet density, it can be shaped in almost any way
Willow (Salix caprea)
danger: Also known as Kitten Willow!
- Growth height: 5 to 10 meters depending on the location
- Growth form: dense and spherical
- Other: Crown width up to a maximum of 7 meters, annual increase of 50 to 70 centimeters

What: Xeriscapes Workshop
When: 2 p.m. Thursday
Where: Cumming City Hall, lower level meeting room
• Call to reserve a spot with Cumming Utilities at (770) 781-2020
Keeping a beautiful and well-maintained yard doesn’t require a lot of money, time or water if you plan ahead.
That’s what Aimee Mize Slovisky will teach in her free Thursday afternoon xeriscapes workshop, organized by Cumming Utilities.
"Xeriscapes is basically a fancy word for drought-tolerant landscaping," said Mize Slovisky, who works as a landscape designer and installer with Landscape Specialty & Production.
"It’s really simplifying your landscape so you’re having to use much less water and having not to use as much time in maintaining."
Mize Slovisky plans to share her seven-step plan for the landscape style, from design and plant selection to mulching and maintenance.
Her company often receives requests for easy care and low-water planting, so Mize Slovisky said she’s become well-versed in xeriscaping.
Plants native to the area, for example, can often fit the bill for tolerating the natural rain totals.
Aside from folks’ interest in lowering work time and water bills, she said area residents also know the importance of water conservation.
"If you’ve lived in Georgia in the past five years, you know you want drought-tolerant plants," she said. "It’s all about water waste. We waste so much water here in the summer landscaping here."
More plants die from overwatering than underwatering, said Mize Slovisky, adding that irrigation systems don’t need to be run so often.
The Cumming utilities department hoped to offer a class on the subject to teach people about the water conservation aspect, said director Jon Heard.
"In the past few years, we’ve come to understand that the water supply in North Georgia region and Atlanta region is limited and we’ve got to manage it properly," Heard said.
Outdoor watering typically is the biggest contributor to a spike in water demand during the summer, he said.
The city hoped to present the workshop as a way to educate people on the efficient landscaping style and contacted Mize Slovisky.
"We’re pleased and excited to be able to present a class like this to the public," Heard said. "Hopefully, it will be beneficial to our customers and our area."

THE BOBOLI GARDENS
The immense stretch of green that extends from the hill behind the Pitti Palace as far as Porta Romana is one of the largest and most ele-gant ‘Italian style gardens’ in the world. It reached its current extension and appearance through several stages of enlargement and reno-vation work carried out over the years. The Boboli Gardens, part of the Medici gardens at the Pitti Palace, was laid out for Eleonora di Toledo and Cosimo I in the 16th century. With the declining fortunes of the Pitti family, Buonaccorso Pitti, great grandson of Luca Pitti, sold the palace to Eleanor di Toledo, wife of Duke Cosimo I Medici and daughter of Emperor Charles V in 1549.
This extensive out-door ‘masterpiece’ covers a vast area of 320,000 square meters and contains a magnificent collection of fountains, grottoes and elegant statues. The gardens were designed by the famous landscape architect, Niccolo Pericoli (known as ‘Tribolo’). How-ever, when he died his work was continued by Bernardo Buontalenti (1585-1588) and completed by Alfonso Parigi the Younger (1628-1658).
Though during the 19th century, the Boboli gardens were slightly modified, most of its beautiful landscape still retains its original creations. The Medici family had planned the area as a small township, enclosed by a long wall, for their family. Extraordinary and extrava-gant, the Medici royals employed over 200 servants to maintain this amazing oasis of green.
As one of the largest open spaces in the city, ‘Il giardino dei Boboli’ is most definitely a great picnic destination. These forty-five hec-tares (or 111 acres) of hillside park owe their name to the Boboli family, the former owners of some of this land. Full of inviting walks, the gardens are among the finest classical parks of this kind and have various features worth seeing, as well as providing a beautiful view of Florence from the highpoint of the terrace of the Kaffeehaus (was added in 1775).
The quietest entrance is on the Via Romana. One of the most notable features is the Viottolone, a long avenue lined with cypress trees. There are many different elements that enrich the landscape, including a rose garden, fountains, grottoes, garden temples and statues of mythical gods and goddesses. There are also paths that will take you to a higher level, where you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery and some of the finest panoramic views of the city.
PARCO DELLE CASCINE
The Cascine (or ‘farmhouses’) were part of the property which Alessandro and Cosimo I dei Medici purchased and turned into a game reserve and area for the rearing of cattle. The Cascine park is bound by three waterways of various sizes and importance: the river Arno, the river Mugnone and the Macinate canal (dug in 1563). ‘Il parco’, which covers 118 hectares of land, is Florence’s largest public park. Its history has always been closely bound up with that of the city: from the Medici to the Lorraine, and from the Kingdom of Italy to the pre-sent day.
During the Medici reign the estate also included a piece of land called La Sardigna, and an irregular rectangle of land between the Car-raia bridge and the Prato gateway. Possession of this land, both inside and outside the city walls, ensured continuity between the city and country life the Medici family led in the 16th century. When the Medici family line died out in 1737, the property passed to the Grand-Duchy of Lorraine, and the Cascine were used more as a place of leisure, for walks and for parties. In 1786, Giuseppe Manetti began work on reorganising the Cascine to create the large park, with furnishings and architectural elements of symbolic significance. These include the ‘Little Royal Palace’, the Quercione watering-place (also known as the Fontana delle Boccac ce), the pyramid-shaped ice store and the Pavoniere (two Neoclassical temples used as birdcages).
Although they were only opened to the public on special occasions from the 17th century onwards, it was during the brief Napoleonic interlude, under Elisa Baciocchi, that the Cascine became a real public park. In the second half of the 19th century, it became even more popular as a walking or riding place than other traditional Florentine destinations, such as Fiesole or Pian dei Giullari. In the early 19th century, Giuseppe Cacialli extensively renovated the park. In 1869, it became the property of the City of Florence and was again restored, this time by architect Felice Francolini. During the 20th century, this well-loved park became the venue for a range of sporting activities such as horse racing, tennis, target shooting, clay pigeon shooting, swimming (in the Pavoniere pool), and the home of the Faculty of Agri-cultural Science and the School of Airborne Warfare.
For all the changes it has witnessed over the last century, Le Cascine has lost none of their original monumental qualities. Vast prati, or lawns, bordered by a wood of Atlantic cedar trees, elms, pines, horse chestnuts, oaks and poplars, are still to be found inside the park, each one with its own individual name, such as Prato di Via delle Cascine, Prato della Tinaia, Prato del Quercione and Prato delle Cornac-chie.
This popular park is a favourite with joggers, horse riders and families with young children, especially on Sundays and Tuesday morn-ings, when it’s market day. Towards Piazza Vittorio Veneto on the park’s east side is an open-air swimming pool (used during the summer months), while to the west is the park’s amphitheatre, a popular summertime venue for dance performances and concerts. Horse racing takes place not far from here at the Ippodromo delle Muline.
