Carpinus betulus Pleached Trees

Elegant deciduous screens with dense foliage and strong architectural form

Pleached Carpinus betulus (commonly known as Hornbeam) trees provide a refined, structured way to create privacy, screen unsightly views, or define garden spaces. Trained on tall clear stems with a neatly clipped rectangular canopy, these trees are perfect above fences or walls where evergreen coverage isn't essential.

Hornbeam is a tough and adaptable native tree with crisp green leaves in spring and summer, turning yellow-gold in autumn. In winter, the dry coppery leaves often cling to branches, offering partial screening even when bare. It’s a great choice for formal gardens, avenues, or contemporary spaces needing soft seasonal interest.
