GARDEN DESIGN

SPACE SAVING PLEACHED TREES

Pleached trees are a smart solution when your client needs privacy alongside fences or boundaries without losing precious lawn or outdoor space. These narrow elegant trees typically have a clear stem of around 1.8 – 2m before the canopy begins, with the foliage trained into a slim square or rectangular frame.
Whether you are creating a contemporary linear screen or a formal garden feature, pleached trees add architectural interest. Their straight trunks and neat, tidy canopies create a clean, refined aesthetic that enhances particularly urban garden design.
We always have a range of quality trees for decorative or screening purposes in stock in our Buckinghamshire nursery. These include a comprehensive range of pleached trees, species include:
• Elaeagnus ebbingei or Elaeagnus × submacrophylla( Oleaster)
