For example, the walled garden, which was laid out in 2000 by Tom Stuart-Smith, contains beech tunnels, topiary yews and pleached lime squares. |
In Ireland, don't even think about growing it unless you live in one of those hot pockets warmed by the Gulf Stream, where it should do well pleached on a warm sunny wall. |
Maples, sycamores, and lindens are commonly pleached. |
I'm not choosing historical plants — the basis of Le Nôtre's gardens was hornbeams, and in the field bosquets a mixture of European trees, such as limes and some field maples, which, like the hornbeams, were pleached. |
Highlights include giant columns of evergreen oaks, a pleached lime avenue and two walled gardens. |
An avenue of pleached limes has the lowest branches springing out from the main stem a good 2m from the ground, allowing a clear view through the young trunks. |
