Pleached Viburnum tinus ‘Lucidum’: Evergreen Screening with Style

Pleached trees are an ideal solution if you’re looking for privacy and structure into your garden. Among the most versatile choices is Viburnum tinus ‘Lucidum’ – an elegant, evergreen variety, also known as French Laurustinus.

This tree is admired for its glossy dark green foliage, which stays dense throughout the year, ensuring reliable evergreen screening. Unlike many evergreens, it offers seasonal interest. Small fragrant creamy-white flowers are borne in flattened flowerheads, up to 10cm in diameter, from late winter into spring and are followed by attractive blue-black berries in autumn. This is a wildlife friendly evergreen.

Pleached Viburnum tinus ‘Lucidum’ create narrow screens of foliage above a clear stem. This makes it especially useful in modern gardens where space is at a premium. You can achieve privacy without the bulk of hedging, while still allowing light and space beneath the canopy.

Where pleached Viburnum trees work best:

• Along boundaries, to soften fencing and create a “living wall” of evergreen foliage.
• Around patios or terraces, for stylish screening from neighbours.
• Beside driveways or garden paths, adding structure without crowding ground-level planting.
• In contemporary garden designs, bringing both formality and year-round interest.
• As an avenue of trees along a driveway or property entrance, for an elegant approach.

Easy to maintain and responsive to pruning, Viburnum tinus ‘Lucidum’ is as practical as it is attractive. With its evergreen cover, seasonal flowers and berries, and refined pleached form, it’s a fantastic investment for any garden. These trees provide instant structure, elegance, and privacy, making them the perfect choice for transforming your outdoor space.
