Frequently Asked Questions
-

A: Yes, because they are established in pots, there’s minimal root disturbance, making them suitable for planting any time of year. -
Q: How does Common Laurel compare to other hedges for maintenance?
A: Common Laurel requires less trimming than many faster growing hedges and is notably tough and disease-resistant. -
Q: Will 90-120cm laurel provide effective screening?
A: Yes, with rapid growth and evergreen leaves, expect dense privacy within 1-2 growing seasons after planting. -
Q: Are pot grown plants better than bare root?
A: Pot grown plants establish faster and are less prone to transplant shock, especially outside bare root planting seasons.
Common questions
Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
