Cherry Laurel Hedging 100–120cm – 15 Litre Pot
Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) is one of the UK's most popular evergreen hedging plants, valued for its vigorous growth, dense foliage, and outstanding screening ability. Supplied at 100–120cm tall in a 15 litre pot, these well-established plants provide instant impact and a strong start towards creating a mature hedge.
The large, glossy dark green leaves remain attractive throughout the year, forming a thick evergreen barrier that offers excellent privacy, noise reduction, and wind protection. Its naturally bushy growth quickly develops into a dense hedge, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.
In spring, established plants may produce upright clusters of fragrant white flowers, followed by small ornamental berries that are attractive to birds. The lush foliage provides valuable shelter for wildlife throughout the year.
Cherry Laurel thrives in full sun or partial shade and is highly adaptable to a wide range of soil types. It performs equally well as a formal clipped hedge or a more relaxed natural screen.
Hardy, reliable, and easy to maintain, it responds well to pruning and can be kept at virtually any desired height and width.
Strong, evergreen, and fast growing, Cherry Laurel remains one of the best choices for creating a dense, attractive hedge with year-round privacy.
