Hello!
We need to build a wall approximately 20 meters long that will stand against a mountain. The distance between the wall and the mountain is about 1 meter. Sometimes on the ground, the distance is approximately 20 cm. Behind the wall, we want as much soil as possible to be able to plant smaller trees. What type of wall do you recommend that can withstand the load of soil and smaller trees and the distance where the wall will stand and the mountain? It seems that such mega wall projects do not work because they require a space of more than 1.50 m.

It's concrete, so it should definitely be possible to plaster it, but otherwise, you can always drill and plug. I did it by attaching a decorative plank on the inside of a retaining wall I cast in the garden. I even think there's a picture of it here on the forum.

If there is indeed a real mountain behind the wall, there won't be much pressure. What is done when building higher walls is placing a reinforcement grid at certain tiers in the wall. This grid extends inward towards the mass behind.
Benders Megastone/Megawall easily handles 1.4 meters. However, don't forget that you must have drainage material behind and a drainpipe at the bottom.
Edit:
Thought of another stone. KeyStone. Big and heavy as hell. But sure, it also needs a reinforcement grid, but 1 meter should suffice.
You can also tilt the wall a bit... Applies to all variants.
