Mop Tops are a totally unique deciduous landscaping plant. They're the ball on a stick tree that maintain their round topiary shape without regular trimming. Don't pay over $200 at the big stores. We grow our own, so get them cheap! | |
| Content | | Maple Mop Tops are a totally unique landscape tool. They are cheap to produce and as a consequence are very economical to purchase, when compared to other standard or topiary trees. They require little maintenance to maintain a lovely classical manicured look. The Mop Top is very hardy, coping well with wind, heat, drought, frost, pollution and poor soils. Because the Mop Top naturally grows small, it is ideal for planting in confined areas or creating avenues in places where conventional trees won’t fit.
