What Are Pleached Trees?
Pleached trees are carefully trained to grow with their branches woven or tied into a flat, two-dimensional framework. This technique creates a natural “living fence” that can be tailored to a variety of garden styles, from classic formal designs to sleek contemporary spaces.
Chandler emphasizes that their structured shape and clean lines make them an excellent choice for creating defined outdoor spaces. “’In new-build homes and modern gardens, privacy can be scarce, pleached trees offer an elegant and space-efficient solution, unlike even the very best hedging plants, as these often require more depth, thus gobbling up valuable garden space.’” he notes, showcasing their ability to add height, symmetry, and elegance to any garden.
Practical Benefits for Modern Gardens
As Harrod explained, pleached trees are particularly effective in urban settings. They serve as a natural screen to maintain privacy without feeling enclosed or heavy, ideal for smaller gardens or areas with close neighbors. Additionally, they help soften architectural lines, merging nature with manmade elements seamlessly.
For those concerned about maintenance, Harrod assures that once established, pleached trees require straightforward care. Regular pruning maintains their structure, but they’re far from high-maintenance.
