The Beech Pleached Tree, also known as Fagus Pleached, is a stunning and sophisticated addition to any garden or landscape, meticulously shaped to create a refined, vertical screen of lush foliage. This topiary is carefully trained to form a dense, rectangular frame, adding both structure and elegance to your outdoor space with its sculpted, formal appearance.
Where Should I Place My Beech Pleached Tree?
The Beech Pleached Tree thrives in a range of conditions but performs best in a sheltered location with partial shade to full sun. It is essential to plant it in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the roots. Soil that retains moisture effectively is ideal, and using a soaker hose can help maintain consistent moisture levels, especially during dry spells.
Growth and Pruning
Beech Pleached Trees grow at a moderate rate, allowing them to maintain their elegant shape with careful and regular pruning. Trim by removing any weak, dead, or damaged branches, and clear away debris at the base. Use sharp shears to maintain the precise lines of the frame and ensure a well-defined shape. A thorough trim, generally performed in late winter or early spring, along with periodic touch-ups throughout the growing season, will keep your Beech Pleached Tree looking its best.
