| Someone told me that I could cut the tip of my Arbor Vitae off and it will not grow larger, and retain it's conical shape. Is that true? If not, how can I keep it in bounds? |

| They don't stop growing, as with anything else you cut back, it will regrow. Any pics? If it's getting to large, it needs to be taken out before it becomes a problem down the road. The only way to keep it the size it is now is to trim the new growth once a year which will stop it from getting larger. |
