The trees are 'roof trained' London Plane Trees, Platanus hispanica, they can grow very large if left untrained.

Tree/plant ideas for privacy in small garden

Most trees will grow too tall and will encroach through a brick wall easily. I had to remove a beautiful Silver Birch as it grew to 50 feet and was breaking up my neighbours concrete path. I had little garden knowledge then but I’ve learnt a lot since then! How about a fruit tree like an apple? You get nice white/pale pink blossom followed by delicious apples in the autumn. Apples are grown on different root stocks to limit their size. A true Apple tree can become huge but one grown on Rootstock M9 grows no higher than 10 ft. I bought one online from Blackmoor Fruit Growers www.blackmoor.co.uk and it is a beautiful tidy tree. Shrubs would also be good, many of them grow 6-8 feet and are good for screening. Shrubs like Viburnum tinus, Photinia red robin and Ceanothus are all evergreen. They do flower but flowers are small and not too messy. Two shrubs I love as they have purple leaves is Cotinus and Sambucus nigra but they do lose their leaves in winter. A lot of people use bamboo as screening but I’ve never grown it so can’t comment. I’m sure you will get more ideas from the gardening Houzzers! VIBURNUM SAMBUCUS NIGRA CEANOTHUS PHOTINIA RED ROBIN

Planting scheme help inc small trees
Q

Hi. Mmmmm.... the examples you posted are specifically pruned to that shape and need to be kept pruned regularly. I call them lollipop trees😊. Most trees don’t usually grow to a set height then stop, unless trimmed they just keep on growing. Containers will need to be big as they need a good amount of root space and will conserve water better. I think you’ll find the containers more expensive than the trees/ shrubs themselves. This site has some good examples of ‘lollipop’ trees: https://www.paramountplants.co.uk/clear-stem-trees.html Not sure if any of them flower. There are lots of plants you could use for a specific planting scheme. A local garden nursery should be able to help with what would be suitable for your area.
