Birds and Bees: What Wildlife Lives in Pleached Trees?

Pleached trees don't just bring elegance to your garden; they also create a haven for wildlife.

Bees and Pollinators

Pleached trees play a vital role in supporting bees and other pollinators. These trees offer an abundant source of nectar and pollen, making them a favorite stop for these essential creatures.

RHS Plants for Pollinators

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) recognises the significance of pollinators and has compiled a list of Plants for Pollinators, which includes Oleaster. By planting these trees in your garden, you contribute to the well-being of wild bees and other vital pollinators.

Birds and Their Sanctuary

Pleached trees also provide a sanctuary for birds. Their branches and foliage offer a safe perching spot for a variety of bird species, creating a welcoming environment for these feathered friends.

So, as you admire the aesthetic appeal of pleached trees in your garden, remember that you're also creating a place of rest and nourishment.
