Ideal for Hedging and Privacy Screening
Green Screen is an excellent choice for creating dense evergreen hedges and privacy screens. Its vigorous growth and ability to produce thick foliage make it particularly useful along fences, property boundaries and areas where neighbouring properties need to be screened.
For a conventional hedge, spacing of approximately 80cm to 1.2 metres apart will generally provide excellent coverage, with closer planting producing a faster, denser result.
Excellent for Pleaching and Raised Screening
Acmena smithii ‘Green Screen’ is also well suited to pleaching. Its upright habit, flexible young branches, fast growth and excellent response to pruning allow the upper canopy to be trained horizontally across wires or frames.
For pleaching, spacing around 1.2–1.5 metres apart is a good starting point. Install the training framework when planting and begin gently positioning suitable branches early. More active training and pruning can generally begin once the plants have established, usually around 3–6 months after planting.
This makes Green Screen particularly useful for creating privacy above fences while retaining more open space beneath the canopy.
Growing Acmena smithii Green Screen in Melbourne
Green Screen performs strongly across Melbourne and many parts of Victoria. Plant in well-prepared, free-draining soil and water regularly during establishment. Mulching around the root zone will help retain moisture and protect the developing root system.
Regular tip pruning encourages additional branching and helps create a thicker, denser screen from an early age. Once established, it can be maintained as a formal hedge or allowed to develop into a taller natural screen.
