It's not the best time of year to plant trees, especially where you are with the weather/climate becoming regularly drier in the coming months, so you'll have to do really good prep, and then be very vigilant with watering until next winter. Good luck with it.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Those photinias would never manage in those wee planters. They aren't deep/wide enough. Most shrubs will struggle long term. You'd have to keep them pruned and not too big, unless they're open to the ground below. Bog standard Privet would manage and some of the Euonymous fortuneii varieties. I'm sure other folk will have suggestions.

There is a Photinia which should manage in a planter that shallow, it's a dwarf one called "Little Red Robin". The troughs are too shallow for large shrubs but there are some that would be OK, some Hebes but some aren't very hardy, Pittosporum, Choisya White Dazzler and Lavatera Barnsley Baby.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

What would be ideal to grow in these trough planters which create a nice hedge like look.
Photonia red robin was one suggestion but are there ant other plants that can survive in such trough planters and be evergreen etc.
this sort of planters
