Adjustable height topiary

Abstract

A topiary arrangement with foliage tiers having stems that are telescopic with respect to each other in order to achieve desired spacings between the foliage tiers. Each foliage tier includes a spherical foliage bundle with a tubular stem extending downwardly therefrom. Successive tiers of the foliage tiers have tubular stems that are somewhat different in diameters so that the stems are telescopic with respect to neighbor stems. A respective O-ring is stretched around the foliage stem to function as an adjustment mechanism to space the tiers from each other a desired distance. When one tubing stem is inserted into an underlying tubing stem, the O-ring on the upper tubing stem can be adjusted thereon so that the tubular stem telescopes downwardly only a desired distance within the underlying tubing stem, thus making the foliage tiers individually adjustable as to spacing therebetween.
