Cherry Laurel – Prunus laurocerasus

Better known as the Cherry Laurel, this dense evergreen shrub makes a popular hedging plant. The large glossy, rounded leaves form a lovely backdrop for the elegant creamy white flower spikes in Spring. The fragrant blooms are a magnet for pollinating insects. As the flowers fade, glossy cherry-red berries take their place, providing food for hungry birds. Prunus laurocerasus ‘Rotundifolia’ is a useful shrub growing equally well in full sun or in the shade of mature trees. This handsome RHS AGM variety makes a superb low maintenance specimen plant for borders, woodland areas and wildlife gardens.

Rootballed hedge plants are larger, bushier field grown plants grown at extra wide spacings for several years and are then lifted by a specialist rootballing machine with the soil and immediate root system, these large bushy plants are great value.
