Pleached trees are an elegant and highly effective solution for creating privacy, structure and year-round interest in gardens and landscapes.
Each pleached tree is carefully trained to form a raised, flat framework above a clear stem, creating an architectural living screen. This makes pleached trees ideal for boundaries, patios, driveways and garden zoning, providing privacy without taking up excessive ground space.
We grow and supply a wide range of pleached trees to suit different garden styles, screening requirements and growing conditions, including:
Pleached trees perform best in positions with full sun to partial shade and should be planted into well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. They are particularly effective when planted along boundaries, beside seating areas or in front of fences and walls to create instant privacy.
When planting, dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the root ball and position the tree so the root collar sits level with the surrounding soil. Avoid planting too deeply and ensure consistent watering during establishment.
Before purchasing pleached trees, consider access for maintenance and long-term growth. If planting near a boundary, ensure there is sufficient space for trimming and access to both sides where possible.
Pleached trees can also be trained against wall frames, offering an attractive alternative to fencing without sacrificing valuable garden space. This makes them suitable for both modern and traditional garden designs.
Regular watering is essential during the first growing season to help pleached trees establish strong root systems. Keep the soil moist but free-draining, particularly during dry weather.
Trim new growth during the growing season to maintain the clean lines and shape of the pleached framework. Remove any damaged, weak or crossing branches to encourage healthy growth.
Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to support strong growth and healthy foliage. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates.
Prepare planting areas by removing weeds and improving soil structure with organic matter where required. Good soil preparation will significantly improve establishment and long-term performance.
Pleached trees are trees that have been carefully trained to grow on a flat framework above a clear stem, creating a raised living screen for privacy and structure.
Pleached trees are supplied at a fixed stem height, with the trained framework typically starting between 1.8 and 2.2 metres, depending on the species and size selected.
Pleached trees can be either evergreen or deciduous. Evergreen pleached trees provide year-round screening, while deciduous options offer seasonal interest.
Pleached trees are usually planted between 1.2 and 1.5 metres apart, depending on the species and the width of the trained framework.
