Description

An unusual and highly beautiful choice of pleached tree, Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra' boasts a mass of single pink flowers from late February to April. The rich, deep purple foliage looks particularly grand in this pleached form and produces a glorious display when it turns vibrant shades of red and orange in the autumn.

Our stunning pleached Ornamental Plum trees have been carefully and expertly trained over a number of years to create these specialist trees that are sometimes called hedging in the sky or stilt hedging. Pleached Ornamental Plum trees are ideal for screening purposes, to divide spaces or create a feature.

Please note: Our containerised pleached trees are available year-round, whereas rootball forms are available for delivery between October and April/May. Please call our Sales and Service team on 01943 660870 to discuss requirements. Special requirements: 2-4 people required for planting.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
