Prunus lusitanica Angustifolia

Portuguese Laurel

Prunus lusitanica Angustifolia - 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 to Site Your Portuguese Laurel Hedging

Portuguese Laurel Hedging thrives in moist, well-drained soils. While these hardy plants can survive in poor, shallow, and slightly chalky conditions, it’s best to avoid such environments. Prunus Lusitanica is highly adaptable, tolerating both warm and cold exposed sites as well as partial shade. For optimal health, prune and fertilise your hedge to maintain its desired height, shape, and condition.

Growth & Pruning

Portuguese Laurel Hedging can grow up to 8 meters tall with an annual growth rate of 30-60 cm (about 1-2 feet). This moderate growth rate makes it easy to prune and maintain without it becoming unruly. It responds well to pruning and can be trimmed into various shapes and sizes, typically twice a year depending on the desired hedge size.

To keep your Portuguese Laurel Hedging healthy and vibrant, consider removing berries and flowers. This allows the plant to focus its energy on producing lush, green leaves rather than decorative berries and flowers, though this step is optional.

Characteristics

  • Foliage: Glossy, dark green year-round (if well-maintained)
  • Stems: Red
  • Flowers: Fragrant white flowers in spring
  • Berries: Inedible red berries that turn black/purple in winter
  • Resilience: Tougher than Cherry Laurels and can withstand exposed sites
  • Durability: Winter hardy
