Pleached trees can create effective screening or simply to improve privacy in your garden, without taking up very much space due to their slim canopy. Pleached trees are created by training trees to a square frame, tying in and interlacing flexible young shoots along a supporting framework, creating an attractive slender tree.
Cupressocyparis leylandii
Commonly referred to as Leylandii, this is a very large and extremely vigorous species hybrid. Valued for its fast growth habit and dense, this evergreen tree provides an effective screen. Usually used in open spaces or as a windbreak, Leylandii can also be used effectively for screening in smaller spaces, such as these pleached trees but it must be regularly maintained and clipped to ensure it is contained for shape and space.
Elaeagnus ebbingei
Pleached Elaeagnus is an outstanding hardy evergreen with tough silvery grey leaves that are frost, wind and salt resistant. Elaeagnus is highly regarded for its sweet fragrance and tiny bell-shaped white flowers in late summer, followed by small orange berries in the winter. A species which positively thrives in coastal environments and all soil types, this makes an attractive pleached tree.
Ilex Nellie R Stevens (Holly)
Ideal for screening due to its symmetrical habit, density and lack of pruning requirements. The glossy green leaves are smooth rather than spikey. The autumn berries provide colour and food for birds. Grows well in well-drained soil, is drought tolerant, needs sun-partial sun.
Ligustrum japonicum (Japanese Privet)
A compact, small sized evergreen tree with camellia-like olive-green leaves that looks attractive in pleached form. It bears large clusters of white flowers in late summer. A tough performing species that will thrive on most soils, but avoid waterlogged areas.
Magnolia grandiflora ‘Gallisoniensis’
With large dark green leaves, this evergreen produces beautiful, large, white flowers in the summer, which can be up to 25 cm in diameter. As well as decorating this stunning tree, they also create a sweet-citrus smelling aroma, and makes a stunning pleached tree. Magnolia grows well in most soils, but it must be sheltered and not north-facing.
Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’
This is a versatile evergreen, that has vibrant red new shoots in spring, which contrast with the white blossom – unusual in an evergreen. The bright new leaves change to a deep, glossy green as they mature. This tree is a colourful pleached tree.
Viburnum lucidum
This tree has dark green, shiny oval leaves that grow into a dense, busy habit. It produces cymes of small white, fragrant flowers in late winter, which stay in bloom until mid-spring. This tree also produces small, bluish-black berries in autumn.
Photinia x fraseri ‘Pink Marble’
Year-round interest with white springtime flowers and the marble effect foliage.
When the new leaves emerge in spring, they are a strikingly vivid pink and red, creating quite a display. As the leaves mature, the colour evolves to a glossy, dark green with an ivory-white edge or margin and with the occasional splash of pink and white.
