It is deciduous, which means privacy in summer and winter sun through the frame. The one thing to plan for is the root system, which is vigorous and best kept well away from services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Pleached Yunnan Poplar\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Glossy Leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Broad foliage fills a trained panel densely, screening better than fine leaved deciduous trees.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapid Screening\u003c\/strong\u003e: Growth is fast, so the panel closes up within a season or two of installation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter Sun\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leaf drop in autumn lets low sun reach windows and courtyards through the cold months.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrained Framework\u003c\/strong\u003e: The clear trunk and horizontal wires hold the panel at a defined height and thickness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutumn Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Foliage turns yellow before falling, giving a short but strong seasonal display.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast boundary screen\u003c\/strong\u003e: The quickest way to block a new neighbouring build at first floor level.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverlooking window block\u003c\/strong\u003e: A short run of panels targets a specific sightline without shading the whole garden.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRural driveway avenue\u003c\/strong\u003e: Repeated at even spacing it gives immediate scale along a long approach.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiving wall on a frame\u003c\/strong\u003e: Against a fence or structure it reads as a green wall with no climbing plant maintenance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5m to 2.5m centres so panels meet\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3m to 4m centres\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter, while dormant\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adaptable to most soils and tolerant of periodic wet ground, but it grows best in deep moist soil in full sun.
