Basically to paraphrase @unc he was talking about layering your plants. He posted a pic of plants against a wall. There were low ones and then a set of tall plants (tree?) thin brown steam and the folliage only started very high up. They were pinned against the wall. I ask as for the life of me i cant recall the name of that plant he recmmended recommended as it was good for screenage due to its height and made the layering with the low plants look better.
I know its a shot in the dark..

These were pleached trees. Available in lots of different species but standard stuff is carpinus betulus, photinia, pyrus chanticlear, lime, prunus lusitanica though there’ll be loads of other varieties.
It’s basically a standard tree grown on a flat panel of bamboo to create a raised hedge.

I photograph the trees only rarely, when I feel I have their "permission."
