Pleaching Hornbeam

rza20

Good Evening,

First post so please be kind....

I’m looking to start to pleach some hornbeam hedge plants I have spare from a hedge we planted last year. They are only 3-4ft but i have picked the best straightest ones and hope to go from there. Problem is I cant find any information/guidance on where to start. Can anyone suggest anything, books, websites, etc?

The internet has some lovely articles on pleached trees, but not actual nitty gritty instructions on how to achieve a good result.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks, Joe

The RHS is usually a good place to start for all sorts of info.
