Mature Pleached magnolia - Magnolia grandiflora (180-200cm clear stem)

Magnolia grandiflora, our favourite evergreen tree, also provides a striking option for pleached screening of unwanted views. Also known as Bull Bay, it is an excellent evergreen tree that can be used to provide privacy by screening your garden and house from unwanted views or neighbours.  By planting them tightly against your fence, they create a 'hedge in the air' effect with the canopy starting at the bottom of the frame. Compared to planting a hedge, these Magnolia trees save space in your garden as they do not have any foliage from the ground up to the canopy. Their canopies can be pruned once a year to keep them in a compact shape, providing privacy without taking up too much space or light. These evergreen trees will screen all year round. Magnolia grandiflora is a medium-sized, bushy tree with large, evergreen, leathery leaves that have a distinctive brown under leaf. It produces enormous white flowers that bloom in summer and into autumn.
