21 years online - still growing strong
Our Cherry Laurel hedging is a popular choice for creating dense, substantial garden boundaries and year-round privacy. Prunus laurocerasus produces large, glossy green leaves and vigorous bushy growth, helping it develop into an effective evergreen screen. Reliable and adaptable, Cherry Laurel can be maintained at different heights through regular trimming, making it well suited to garden boundaries, privacy screening and larger landscaping projects.
Cherry Laurel is one of the most widely used evergreen hedging plants, combining strong growth with broad, attractive foliage that provides dependable coverage throughout the year. It responds well to trimming and can be maintained as a neat garden hedge or allowed to develop into a taller screen where greater privacy is required.
Its dense growth also makes Cherry Laurel useful for creating shelter and defining larger garden spaces. Established plants can produce clusters of small white flowers, adding seasonal interest alongside the glossy evergreen foliage.
