Pleached Beech Trees – Beech (Fagus sylvatica) makes a gorgeous and practical pleaching species, despite technically being deciduous Beech offers the privacy of an evergreen because the brown leaves are retained in winter. Pleached Beech trees have attractive wavy edged summer foliage, pale green at first in late spring before quickly darkening to a richer and deeper green. As autumn passes the leaves turn back through hues of green and golden yellow to a nut brown colour and as with a Beech Hedge, many of the leaves are retained throughout the winter giving high level privacy, particularly as the pleached trees mature and if the trees are trimmed back to shape during the summer months (this improves leaf retention)

Pleached Beech trees need a well drained soil to thrive and are best in full sun, if your soil becomes waterlogged in winter or is very heavy we would recommend that you consider Pleached Hornbeams as an alternative, this species is more tolerant of wet conditions and can even be planted in a little shade (although the growth will not be as dense)

Our fresh pleached Trees come in a range of sizes, these trees are fixed to their bamboo frames prior to delivery using the best bushy-headed standard trees from our suppliers, they will develop a full bushy screen of foliage with in season or so. They are also substantially cheaper than mature pleached Trees and much easier to handle, mature pleached stock often comes with a much larger root ball that usually requires machinery to move them into position on site.

Because of the size of our pleached Beech 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 sometimes deliver smaller orders that are local to the nursery (South East) with a contribution towards delivery, please do call our sales team on 01580 765600 or take a look at our delivery page)

Pleached Beech trees are available for delivery to addresses in mainland England and Wales.
