Where to Site Your Quercus suber Pleached Tree
The Quercus suber pleached tree thrives in locations with full sun to partial shade. It should be planted in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil to support healthy growth and prevent waterlogging, which can damage the roots. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to maintain the vibrant and lush appearance of the foliage. This pleached tree is ideal for adding a distinguished touch to your garden, creating striking vertical features, or establishing elegant privacy screens.
Growth and Pruning
This pleached tree typically grows to a height of around 6-8 feet, depending on the size of the frame. The Quercus suber maintains its refined form with regular pruning. To keep the tree looking its best, trim any weak, dead, or protruding branches and ensure the framework retains its clean, formal lines. Conduct a thorough pruning in late winter or early spring, along with periodic touch-ups throughout the growing season, to keep the pleached tree in optimal condition.
