Description
Perfect for those of you where space is at a premium but privacy screening is a necessity. These Quercus ilex has a 1.8 metre clear stem and then a flat pleached frame of 1.4 metres wide by 1.8 metre high. It can be routinely pruned to form an evergreen window above fence height which takes no width away from a small garden space
It is perhaps surprisingly versatile, being suitable for coastal plantings, topiary and as stilted hedging. Holm Oak trees also tolerate shade and air pollution. Suitable for parks and gardens but thriving best on free draining soils.
Mature height: 3-4m (if maintained)
