Well, I made up a name, because I don't know what the exact cultivar name is. I do know that it is an arborvitae, it was originally round, it has grown old and now is sort of round.

Several years ago, I removed the lowest branches to begin shaping it like a small tree, but I did not follow up, and the green grew back down, almost to the ground.

Yesterday, I removed the bottom green and branches and it looks like several years ago. I didn't dare to remove more.

I wonder if I can remove more green and branches this fall?
