What does PLEACH mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To weave or bend together the branches of trees or hedges so that they grow into a dense barrier or shady walk.
Gardeners pleach young trees by training their side shoots along wires or by tying them to the branches of neighbours until they knit into a single screen. The method is old and gives formal gardens their tall hedges raised on bare trunks, as well as covered walkways. The word also turns up in poetry, where it describes boughs woven overhead. Lime and hornbeam are favourites for the job.
