Where to Position Your Carpinus Betulus Pleached

The Carpinus Betulus Pleached performs best in locations with full sun to partial shade. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil, which helps prevent waterlogging that can harm the roots. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to maintain the foliage's health and vibrancy. This topiary is ideal for creating structured hedges, screens, or decorative elements in various garden settings.

Growth and Pruning

Typically, the Carpinus Betulus Pleached grows to a height of about 6-8 feet, with a similar spread. Its distinctive shape is achieved through careful training and pruning. To maintain its neat appearance, regular pruning is necessary. Trim the topiary to preserve its formal shape and remove dead or damaged branches. The best time for a thorough trim is late winter or early spring, with additional touch-ups required throughout the growing season to keep the canopy well-defined.
