| Hello,
I have a lemon verbena herb that I am training into a nice little topiary tree. It's has a skinny little trunk with a nice round top (a work in progress!). My question is, is there anything I can do to help the trunk thicken up? I'd like it to look like an old tree with a nice thick trunk, but right now it looks like a little twig!! It's in a pot outside right now, but I will have to bring it in for the winter.

| Go check out the bonsai forum, there are many hints and tips there regarding how to thicken trunk and increase ramification (branching habit)...it seems to me that the 2 subjects, topiary and bonsai are closely related and many techniques employed in bonsai culture can be successfully applied to topiary. Good Luck! |
