Plane Tree (Platanus Acerifolia) Pleached Tree 16/18 girth, 1.8m clear stem, 4 Tier Pleached at 40cm spacing and 180cm wide

The Plane Tree (Platanus Acerifolia) is a large beautiful hedge, with large maple-like leaves, which are bright green. The fruits are ball-shaped and borne in clusters. They will take some drought, but will do better with summer deep watering.

Cultivation Method: The plant will need deep, rich well-drained soil in a sunny site and can be transplanted. You can propagate from seed or cuttings or by layering.

If you require privacy or wish to block unsightly views then pleached trees can be ideal. One of our biggest problems today in town gardens and even in the country is being overlooked by our neighbours and a lack of privacy. Pleached trees can offer the perfect solution without taking up too much valuable space.

Pleached trees can be used in both classic and contemporary design. Small and large gardens can benefit from the shade and clean cut lines that can be achieved with pleached trees. Architecture can be enhanced and softened using their rectangular shape.

Pleached Tree Care

It is important to secure your trees after planting, staking is a must in exposed areas. If you have newly pleached (first year pleached) then plant and leave them over the summer, this will give them time to settle.

Watering: Ensure the trees receive sufficient water for the first season the use of some field drain when planting to ensure water gets to the base of the rootball is advisable.

Feeding:If planting in the dormant season then a base scattering of bone meal will help establish root. A good quality balanced fertiliser can also assist the development of the trees during the growing season.

Clipping: Once established, it is advisable to trim the branches of the trees in mid to late May and then again in late August this will help thicken the trees.

Eventually, the tree will form a total block and when you get to this stage you can then just trim like you would a hedge (shears or mechanical).Once the trees are very established you should be able to remove the framework.
