Where to Position Your Carpinus Betulus Pleached Standard
The Carpinus Betulus Pleached Standard thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil to prevent waterlogging, which can adversely affect the roots. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to maintain its vibrant foliage and overall health. This topiary is ideal for creating formal hedges, screens, or as a prominent standalone feature in various garden settings.
Growth and Pruning
This pleached standard typically reaches a height of approximately 6-8 feet, with a similar spread. Its refined shape is achieved through careful training and regular pruning. To keep its elegant form, trim to remove any weak, dead, or damaged branches and maintain a neatly defined canopy. A thorough trim in late winter or early spring, along with occasional touch-ups throughout the growing season, will ensure the topiary remains in optimal condition.
