Our pleached screening trees feature expertly-trained horizontal branches on clear stems. Ideal for formal and contemporary gardens, they provide instant screening, privacy, shade, and architectural impact....
Choosing Pleached Trees
Our range of formally-trained pleached trees includes both evergreen and deciduous varieties. Evergreen pleached trees provide excellent year-round screening and colour, whilst deciduous varieties deliver strong architectural form, changing seasonal interest and allow light through in winter.
Pleached trees are available all year round as container-grown specimens. We may also be able to source more unusual varieties or rootballed pleached trees during the dormant season, October through to March. We are experienced in delivering screening trees safely and efficiently and offer competitive delivery rates. Call our friendly team on 01943 660870 to discuss your requirements.
Planting & Maintaining Pleached Trees
Pleached trees should be planted in a similar manner to semi-mature trees, taking care to stake them firmly. Our trees arrive with a bamboo frame, which should remain in place while the tree establishes. At least two able people are recommended for planting due to the size and weight of the trees.
Formative pruning has already been carried out on our pleached trees, so you will only need to maintain the shape going forwards. Start by removing damaged branches as you would for any tree, then prune to maintain the shape. The bamboo frame can be cut off when the tree is mature enough.
History of Pleached Trees
Pleached trees can be traced back 1000s of years and were even used as a type of defense during Julius Ceasar's reign. During the 18th century, pleaching became a popular garden technique for creating shaded pathways. Then, in the 19th century the popularity of pleached trees soared and they were used continually by the European elite who favoured shaded avenues and grand allées. Since then, they have become a regular with modern garden designers and can be seen in many an RHS award winning garden. You may have seen fantastic specimens at Hidcote Manor in Gloucestershire or Harley Hall in Cheshire.
