FAQ

  • Is Portuguese laurel good for privacy hedges? Yes, forms dense, evergreen screens year-round.
  • How does it compare to cherry laurel? Portuguese laurel offers denser, more upright growth in shade, with smaller, glossy leaves.
  • Will it grow in shady areas? Grows well under trees or deep shade conditions.
  • What size for instant impact? 100-120cm pot-grown plants rapidly create a visible barrier on planting.
  • Is it suitable for shaping? Easily trimmed for formal hedges or topiary forms.

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.
3 plants per metre for a standard single-row hedge, or 5 per metre (staggered double row) for a dense screen.
