At a slender 9½ in diameter and 48 in tall, this is a narrow, vertical piece meant to flank a door rather than fill a corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour and surface texture are built to match the lush green hue and natural texture of a live boxwood topiary — a reasonable standard to hold it to, and one worth judging from the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the exact dimensions and materials?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForty-eight inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9½ in, slender\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTrunk\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePot\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeutral grey pot, included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLeaf count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUV rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlacement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuits an entryway, living room, office, or covered porch pairing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eArtificial boxwood spiral, or a real one?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThis topiary\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLive boxwood spiral\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour and texture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatches the lush green hue and natural texture of the real thing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe genuine article, with real seasonal variation in tone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape upkeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone; the spiral is fixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-clipped two to three times a year by someone who can cut a true spiral, not just a rough taper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisease risk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBox blight can destroy the plant and the spiral shape together, permanently\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCost, year five\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNothing further\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepeat clipping, and a real chance of losing the plant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRibbons or string lights dress it up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTakes the same styling, but a damaged live spiral cannot be fixed with decoration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe comparison to a live boxwood spiral holds up well for colour and texture.

Fan the coils of the spiral out gently by hand rather than forcing them, since a slender 9½ in diameter piece has less foliage to hide a bent stem than a wider one does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping damage is the single most common complaint in this category — cracked bases, bent trunks, crushed pots. Inspect the grey pot and the base of the trunk before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho should not buy this?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect outdoor exposure.\u003c\/strong\u003e Best suited to a covered spot such as a porch pairing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA single spiral for a symmetrical doorway.\u003c\/strong\u003e This piece is built as a door-side pairing, so one on its own reads as though its match is missing.

A single spiral beside a door tends to read as though its match is missing. Order both in the same transaction so the pair comes from the same production run and the colour and taper match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the pot made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a neutral grey pot, chosen specifically so the topiary can complement all interior styles rather than commit to a particular look.
