Prunus Lusitanica

Portuguese Laurel

Prunus Lusitanica - Portuguese Laurel are fantastic laurels that are a great alternative to the classic cherry Laurel. They are more formal in appearance with their dark green, medium sized pointed foliage set against red stems. They are slower growing, you would get 1/2ft of growth a year. A lot tougher than the cherry laurel and can withstand exposed sites, perfect for the North of the country.

Where should I site my Portuguese Laurel Hedging?

Portuguese Laurel Hedging flourishes in moist, well-drained soils and
due to their hardy nature, they can even live in poor, shallow,
slightly chalky conditions but this isn’t advised. Prunus Lusitanica is
highly adaptable, enduring warm or cold exposed sites and also partial
shade. For optimal health, prune and fertilise to maintain desired
height, shape and condition. 

Growth & Pruning

Portuguese Laurel Hedging can reach heights of up to 8 meters, with
an annual growth rate of 30-60cm (about 1.64 ft). This variety grows at a
moderate rate, making it easy to prune and maintain without worrying
about it becoming unruly. 

The Portuguese Laurel Hedging reacts well to being pruned and can be
trimmed into a variety of shapes and sizes. This should be done around
twice a year depending on the size you want your hedge. 

To ensure your Portuguese Laurel Hedging remains healthy and vibrant,
it is advisable to remove berries and flowers. This helps the plant
focus its energy on producing lush, green leaves rather than decorative
berries and flowers. But this is completely your choice!

  • Fragrant White Flowers (Spring) 
  • In-edible Red Berries that turn black/purple (Winter)
