Trees that block, hide or give privacy are usually called screening trees. They are often evergreen, but can be deciduous. Not limited to conifers and hedging, screening may also take the form of pleached trees to form an aerial hedge or densely branching standards which allow design scope for underplanting with shrubs and perennials. Our list includes all these options, but please contact us for further advice as required. Photinia Red Robin is a very ornamental and economical screening option. Don t expect a spring show from this cousin of the classic garden favourite; Magnolia grandiflora is grown for its glossy, rich, evergreen foliage. Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) is a classic fast-growing, shade tolerant screener which can be grown as a hedge, shrub, or single stemmed tree. Thank you for your interest in Majestic Trees.
