What are Pleached Trees?

At Harrod Outdoors, we characterise pleached trees as hedging on stilts. These trees are trained as a form of horticultural artistry to offer privacy, form, and structure to gardens seeking privacy. The technique of pleaching trees involves intricately weaving and tying branches of the trees into a carefully designed framework to form a thin rectangular canopy.

Why Choose Pleached Magnolia Trees for Your Garden?

Pleached trees are becoming increasingly popular due to the rise in overlooked properties. With new homes being built closer together, pleached trees provide an elegant solution for maintaining privacy without sacrificing style. Here’s why they’re a fantastic addition to any garden or landscape:

• Privacy and Screening: The dense, elevated canopy of pleached Magnolia trees creates a natural screen, perfect for maintaining privacy in urban and suburban gardens.
• Evergreen Beauty: Varieties like Evergreen Magnolia and Magnolia grandiflora are particularly suited for pleaching. They retain their lush, green foliage year-round, ensuring continuous privacy and beauty.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Pleached trees add a unique, formal look to gardens, offering a blend of structure and natural beauty that can enhance any landscape design.
• Space-Efficient: Ideal for smaller gardens, pleached trees maximise vertical space, allowing for underplanting and efficient use of garden space.
• Low Maintenance: Once established, pleached Magnolia trees require minimal pruning to maintain their shape and structure, making them a practical choice for busy gardeners.
