• Cherry Laurel Hedging, botanically known as Prunus laurocerasus Rotundifolia is a live fast growing, vigorous evergreen shrub with a bushy upright growing habit. This hedging plant can grow to a height of between 4 to 8 metres, with a spread of 2.5 to 4 metres when mature, growing at least 90cm each year. It produces small, fragrant white flowers in mid to late Spring, which are then followed by cherry like red fruit in Autumn that ripen to black in late Autumn to Winter.


• With these bare roots plants, as soon as you receive them place them upright in a bucket of clean water immediately leaving them for at least 2 hours. Only remove the plants from the bucket as you need them. Bare root plants must always be planted with wet roots, it's not good for them to be planted dry and watered after planting. Always make sure they are planted well and watered immediately after plating.

Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
