  • Soil: Grows in clay, loam, chalk, or sandy soils; drought and urban-tolerant when established

Buyer Q&A

    A: Yes, cherry laurel is suitable for wind-exposed sites and helps protect against strong winds.

  • Q: How fast will the hedge fill out?
    A: With good care, expect up to 60cm annual growth until mature height is reached.
  • Q: Can it handle dry or poor soil?

  • A: Cherry laurel offers dense, low-maintenance evergreen foliage that responds well to pruning.

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.
