Pleached Lime Trees
Tilia x europaea ‘Pallida’ will naturally grow into a large tree if not pollarded or pleached, conical when young but eventually becoming flatter headed.
The Common Lime is a great choice for Pleached Lime Trees as this variety is not prone to suckering from the ground and the young shoots are pliable and easy to shape and train.
Our Pleached Lime trees are all supplied as an espalier shape, meaning the young branches have been trained horizontally in layers on their bamboo frame, these trees make a splendid addition to the garden giving height and year round structure.
Because of the size of our pleached Lime trees (they are too tall for any courier delivery service!) all our Pleached Trees are delivered by our own transport, direct to you straight from our nursery. We usually use our own Land Rover and trailer and will always call you to arrange a mutually convenient day first. Delivery is still free for these beautiful trees but as they require a more bespoke approach to delivery and we do need a minimum order of £1500 (ex VAT) to cover our costs. (We can often deliver smaller orders with a contribution towards delivery, please do call our sales team on 01580 765600 or take a look at our delivery page)
Pleached Lime trees are available for delivery to addresses in mainland England and Wales.
Common Lime trees are easy to establish and should settle quickly in all soil types that do not become waterlogged. This variety is often used for formal tree avenues and are attractive to a wide variety of wildlife including bees and butterflies.
When planting all new Pleached Lime trees we strongly recommend adding rootgrow to give them the best start in your garden, its also worth adding plenty of good quality compost or well-rotted farmyard manure (well mixed with the soil). Full and easy to follow planting instructions are supplied with all orders including a hard copy for you to have handy.
Delivery is free for most orders above our free delivery thresholds, these are displayed above our prices in the product listings and summarized below. If you don’t need that many plants it’s not a problem, you can choose to pay our delivery charge and only order what you need.
Delivery is convenient – no signature is required so you don’t need to wait in, we will leave your parcel in the safe place that you nominate.
Delivery is fast – because we pick orders daily from our own growing beds your plants only travel the small hop to our packing shed before being sent to you, they are usually delivered within 3-7 days.
Delivery is reliable – we have been selling and delivering Hedging Plants to our customers nationwide since 1992. We have a lot of experience in packing them safely and only use tried and tested delivery partners.
