  • Privacy: With their framed structure and dense foliage, pleached trees are ideal for creating natural privacy screens without the need for tall fences.
  • Space Efficiency: These trees grow upwards rather than outwards, making them an excellent choice for smaller gardens or spaces where horizontal expansion is limited.
  • Year-Round Interest: Many pleached trees, like the Photinia × Fraseri and Portuguese Laurel, are evergreen, ensuring that your garden looks beautiful no matter the season.
