Fagus sylvatica (Green Beech) Pleached Tree

Fagus sylvatica, or Green Beech, is one of the most refined and versatile choices for pleached tree planting in the UK. Its smooth grey bark, fine branches, and vibrant green foliage lend an elegant structure that responds beautifully to formal training. In pleached form, it creates clean, elevated green screens that enhance privacy while maintaining a light and airy feel.

Though deciduous, Green Beech is known for holding on to its golden-brown autumn leaves well into winter, offering extended seasonal coverage. In spring, the foliage bursts into fresh lime-green before maturing into a rich, lush canopy. Its tightly woven branching and adaptable nature make it an excellent option for creating boundary screens, garden rooms, or soft divisions between properties.

Green Beech thrives in most well-drained soils across the UK, including chalk and clay, and prefers a position in full sun or dappled shade. It is highly tolerant of pruning and forms a neat, long-lasting pleached panel with regular trimming.
