Discover the Best Trees for Privacy at Practicality Brown

When it comes to creating privacy in your garden, there are few options as effective as screening trees and pleached trees. These tall, dense, trees provide a natural barrier that blocks out unwanted views and reduce noise, while also adding beauty and interest to your landscape. For those in the market for screening or pleached trees, Practicality Brown’s tree and hedge nursery in Iver, Buckinghamshire is the ideal destination.

We are one of the UK’s leading suppliers of high-quality trees and hedges, and our nursery boasts over 800 carefully tended trees and 15,000m of Instant Hedging.

Screening Trees

We currently have a fine selection of screening trees that are ideal for creating privacy in your garden. There is a wide selection of evergreen screening trees, including Holly, Photinia, Magnolia, Loquat, Viburnum and Privet. Each tree is carefully selected and grown to the highest standards, ensuring that you get the best possible quality.

Pleached Trees

In addition to screening trees, Practicality Brown also offers a selection of pleached trees. These are trees that have been trained and pruned to grow in a narrow, flat shape, with a clear stem and a dense canopy of foliage. Pleached trees are an excellent option for creating privacy in smaller gardens, as they take up less space than traditional screening trees. They’re also great for adding structure and interest to your garden, as they can be used to create avenues, or to define outdoor rooms. Practicality Brown offers a range of pleached trees, including Magnolia, Holly, Photinia and Laurel, all of which are available in a range of sizes.

Best Trees for Blossom /in , /by

Best Flowering Trees

One of the joys of walking through our tree nursery in spring is the delightful blossom that graces the flowering trees, with their abundance of pink and white blooms.

If you are looking for some spring colour in your gardens, we have the following muti-stem flowering trees in stock.

Magnolia stellata (Star magnolia)

Magnolia stellata in bloom

The Star magnolia is a charming, slow growing tree. A mass of stunning, bright white, star-shaped spreading white flowers in March to April before giving way to lush, mid-green leaves. slow-growing magnolia forming a compact rounded specimen, making it ideal for small gardens.

 

 

 

 

 

Prunus cerasifera Nigra (Purple Plum)

Prunus cerasifera Nigra blossom

This Purple Plum tree has distinctively dark brown bark and pretty single pink flowers that appear early in the spring and remain on the tree whilst the dark foliage begins to emerge, gradually fading to white and contrasting fantastically with the dark leaves.  Prunus cerasifera Nigra will tolerate very severe pruning, making it easy to maintain and therefore a perfect tree for small gardens.

 

 

 

 

Prunus yedoensis – Yoshino Cherry

Prunus yedoensis, originating in Japan, is one of the most beautiful cherries. It is an elegant, medium-sized tree which is covered with small, pink-white flowers from April onwards. They hang in clusters of 5 or 6 and have a subtle almond fragrance. The leaves emerge a coppery colour towards the end of the flowers which create a beautiful contrast to the shiny, black fruits.

 

 

 

Hedging Alternatives

If you are looking for a hedge alternative to a tree, then our Practical Native Mix Instant Hedge has plants that are native to the UK and as such emulate traditional country hedgerows found throughout Britain. A typical composition would include the following species: Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Hornbeam, Hazel and Common Privet – many of which produce blossom and/or fruits.
