My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
They're amazingly resilient, that's for sure! Just about exactly a year ago, we had a bad storm with 100 mph straight-line winds and lots of hail. May favorite Jade sport ('Skinny Fingers') got beat all to heck. So I whacked it clear back to just trunk and branches. So this is what it looks like now... {{gwi:557900}}
I never get tired of seeing how a pruning - even a radical one - brings out the best in Jades!
Topiary conjures up images of nightmarish unattractive forms. Your plant doesn't fit that label. It looks more like an informal shaped upright tree in the landscape. Very pleasing to the eye.
I agree with Randy, too attractive to be a topiary! When I saw the title of the thread, I envisioned the classic "ball on a stick" which is desperately unnatural. I like your rendition of topiary much better!
Have you thought about a different pot for it? I think one of those glazed chinese pots would look better than the grape-vined themed one it is currently in.
