TOPIARY

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 50 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TOPIARY ,a
term
  in gardening or horticulture for the cutting and trimming of shrubs, such as cypress, box or yew, into
regular
  and ornamental shapes. It is usually applied to the cutting of trees into urns, vases, birds and other fantastic shapes, which were common at the end of the 17th
century
  and through the 18th, but it also embraces the more restrained art necessary for the laying out of a formal
garden
 . Yew and
holly
  trees cut into fantastic objects may still be seen in old-fashioned cottage or farmhouse gardens in
England
 . The Lat. topiarius meant an ornamental or landscape gardener, and was formed from topia (Gr. Tinos,
place
 ), a
term
  specially employed for a formal
kind
  of landscape
painting
  used as a mural decoration in Roman houses.
