Cherry Laurel Bareroot Hedge Prunus laurocerasus Caucasica 60-90cm

Prunus laurocerasus Caucasica - Cherry Laurel

Cherry Laurel a fast growing evergreen often used for hedging, and screening.  The leaves are shiny, glossy green, oblong but smooth.  It is a good alternative to leylandii hedge plants as it responds well to hard pruning, and good regrowth from its base.

It tolerates most soil types, and loves the sun to partial shade.  It is drought tolerant when mature, and easy to grow.  Cherry laurel is an excellent choice for windy sites and makes a great sound barrier when mature.  It can be used for coppicing, and pollarding.
