Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are pleached trees and why are they used for screening?
Pleached trees are trained trees with clear stems and a flat, narrow crown formed by weaving and tying together horizontal branches onto a supporting framework. They are ideal for instant screening as they offer a functional, architectural element of privacy at height, without requiring a deep planting bed.
Which pleached tree species are available at Creepers Wholesale Nursery?
We consistently stock popular, resilient species such as Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), and offer a wide range of other high-quality varieties sourced from the finest growers across the UK and continental Europe. Please contact our team for our current wholesale availability list.
How do you plant a readymade pleached tree correctly for successful establishment?
Successful establishment requires careful preparation of the planting pit, ensuring the rootball is not damaged and the tree is securely supported with a robust staking system to protect the clear stem. We recommend consulting our expert team for species-specific planting instructions and advice on supporting the pleaching frame.
How much height can pleached trees provide for privacy screening?
Pleached trees are specifically grown to provide elevated screening, typically offering a clean trunk below and dense foliage above to obscure views between properties or across gardens. The overall height and clear stem height are customised depending on the specimen size selected, which our sales team can advise on.
What is the typical maintenance schedule for a pleached tree?
Pleached trees require annual pruning to maintain their formal shape and keep the crown flat and articulated. This usually involves shortening the growth that extends above or outside the horizontal plane of the pleaching frame, and is best carried out during the dormant season or in mid-summer depending on the species.
Does Creepers Wholesale Nursery offer a design consultation service for pleached tree projects?
Yes, we welcome clients to book an appointment to visit our Surrey nursery where our team of experts, with over 20 years of experience, can discuss your project needs, curate the ideal selection of pleached specimens, and offer tailored advice.
