Add timeless elegance and practical privacy to your garden with our pleached hornbeam trees. These distinctive trees form a raised screen ideal for boundaries, walkways, or feature planting.

Product Details:

Height & Shape:
- Stems: 6ft (180cm) tall, branch-free below the pleached head
- Pleached Head: 4x4ft (120x120cm), providing dense, leafy coverage
Planting Ease:
Supplied in sturdy container bags with handles for convenient handling and planting.
Care & Maintenance:
Requires annual trimming to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
Seasonal Appeal:
Hornbeam is a native UK species known for its vibrant green spring leaves that turn a rich golden-copper in autumn. Uniquely, it retains its dead leaves throughout winter, offering extra year-round privacy until fresh growth pushes them off in spring.
Soil & Water:
More tolerant of wet, heavy soils than beech. When planting in drier periods, consistent watering is crucial—ideally with a leaky hose system (see our Accessories page).
Planting Options:
Suitable for planting singly as striking features or in rows to form elegant avenues.

Delivery & Collection:

Due to their size, delivery pricing is provided on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us directly to discuss delivery options or collect your plants free of charge from our nursery.

Why Choose Hornbeam?
Hornbeam hedging is a traditional, hardy choice that offers privacy and seasonal beauty. Its year-round visual density makes it superior to many deciduous alternatives for garden screening.
