Cloud Pruning Made Easy

[@MichelleForrester-e7j]

Wow! I've admired your yew in passing and imagine my surprise when I found this video. Feeling inspired.

[@Jean-Knox-garden]

What kind words! Do pop in for a coffee or tea sometime you’re passing.

[@MichelleForrester-e7j]

I would love that Jean! Kind regards Michelle

Jean I love your video, I was inspired to do it myself. I posted a tiktok and got 1m views 😳. I posted a follow up video with your voice and screenshots from this video to show where the idea came from and it has 173k views and 15k likes as of this morning. I just wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration 🧑🏻‍🌾💚

Enjoying your video from America. Really lovely garden. you did a fabulous job creating that topiary. Just subscribed.

[@JeanKnox95]

Thanks Allen, and thanks for telling me where you live! Glad you found the video useful.

Would really love to see this on a mop head cypress...searched everywhere. Thanks, great job!

I have a big bush in front of our house,.such as yours. I tried shaping it up but now after watching your video time to eat some lolly pops. Loved your experience and explaining and most of all inspiration, thank you!

[@JeanKnox95]

Thanks for your kind comments. It really was a remarkably simple thing to do, and very effective, but it probably took me a good couple of years to bite the bullet and make the first cut. Looking back, it did look quite scruffy after the first cut but it has improved year on year, so don't be disheartened if it isn't immediately stunning! Perfection takes time!

[@JeanKnox95]

Thanks Jordan, it really wasn't difficult at all. Let me know how you get on.

[@VelvetandToads]

This is encouraging, thank you. I’m going to try it on an olive tree.

[@alphaservices4624]

Love the video thank you for your time in this video. God bless

[@PreservingMyOasis]

Love the idea. How big was your yew when you first started the pom poms?

[@JeanKnox95]

I think it was probably about 120cm tall and it is still not much more than that.

[@emptynestgardens9057]

What a great result!! I can't even keep a globe cedar round. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm for sure going to have a look for those one handed pruners though.

[@JeanKnox95]

Thanks Roxanne. Yes, I can't praise these shears highly enough (Jakoti Hand Shear for Gardening or Sheep Shearing). They make the job so much easier, very comfortable and great hand strengtheners!

[@wilsonbaskett4085]

[@НиколайКравченко-ф2щ]

Неожиданно! Красиво!

[@stevehiggins1263]

Niwaki translates to "garden tree". Lovely work though.

[@andreaalman8258]

Thanks for sharing 🌲

[@JeanKnox95]

You're very welcome. It was a lot easier than I had anticipated so don't be put off!

[@devendrakumar463]

Super pruning

[@sharonrichardson6563]

Thank you, just need to work up the courage

[@lravenhill]

Niwaki means garden tree

[@alexdjukic5018]

Can you give me the exact plant name 😀

[@JeanKnox95]

The plant is Taxus baccata, the common yew.
