Fagus sylvatica Pleached Beech

The pleached beech is one of Britain's most beloved native trees, trained into a refined elevated canopy for instant privacy and year-round structure. Its rich green summer foliage transitions to warm copper-bronze in autumn, with dead leaves held well into winter — giving you screening and seasonal drama in equal measure.
