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.
