At the center of a carefully ordered garden stands a remarkable topiary tree, its dense foliage trimmed into two geometric tiers. The lower canopy spreads broadly from a thick, twisting trunk, while a smaller, almost square crown rises above it. The exposed branches beneath each tier reveal the complex organic structure supporting the tree's disciplined silhouette.
