Pleached Trees

Pleached trees are a refined way to introduce structure, height, and privacy into a garden or landscape. With their branches expertly trained along a horizontal framework, they provide an elegant and formal solution for screening, boundary definition, or creating a green architectural feature.

At Folium and Flos, we supply a carefully selected range of pleached trees, ideal for both contemporary and traditional planting schemes. Whether you’re looking to create a smart boundary, soften a wall, or add vertical interest, pleached trees offer both function and timeless appeal.

Some of our most popular evergreen pleached trees:

• Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’ – evergreen foliage with striking red new growth

• Prunus lusitanica (Portuguese Laurel) – compact habit with deep green, glossy leaves

• Quercus ilex (Holm Oak) – hardy evergreen oak with a dense, architectural canopy

• Ilex ‘Nellie R. Stevens’ – glossy, spined foliage with good year-round screening potential

• Viburnum lucidum – upright evergreen with broad, glossy leaves and excellent structure

• Elaeagnus x ebbingei – silvery-green foliage with scented autumn flowers, ideal for screening

Some of our most popular deciduous pleached trees:

• Carpinus betulus (Hornbeam) – crisp green foliage with excellent form and leaf retention into winter

• Fagus sylvatica (Green Beech) – lush green leaves that turn coppery in autumn, suitable for formal scheme
