  Hi Karin, nice alley you have there.
  These heads on the branches are formed because of regular pruning of the trees. I have seen them before in a garden in France, but never in Bulgaria. This is how it is done

    Hello, WildFlower. Thank you for this link. Here are several places with these trees and I like them a lot. I've found a link too regarding places in bulgaria where to find them. Nice, to have this exchange with you. ;-)
