Viburnum Lucidum Pleached Tree

Viburnum lucidum, also known as Glossy Viburnum, makes an exceptional choice for pleached tree structures, offering dense, evergreen foliage, elegant form, and reliable year-round coverage. When trained as a pleached tree, this species forms a smart, elevated green screen — ideal for adding height and privacy to boundary lines or for introducing structure into formal garden schemes.

Its broad, leathery green leaves retain their colour and gloss throughout the year, even during colder UK winters. Spring brings clusters of creamy white flowers, which add seasonal interest and support local pollinators. The dense canopy of foliage is well-suited to pleaching, holding a flat, rectangular shape with minimal maintenance once established.

Thriving in a wide range of well-drained soils — from chalk to clay — Viburnum lucidum is highly adaptable and performs reliably in both full sun and partial shade. It also offers good resilience to coastal winds and urban pollution, making it a versatile evergreen screening solution.

We generally supply pleached Viburnum lucidum with clear stem heights between 180–200 cm and frame sizes from 120 × 120 cm up to 150 × 150 cm. Custom sizes or alternative training styles can often be sourced upon request — just let us know what you need via the contact form or by phone.
