About Portuguese Laurel 180/200cm Root Ball Delivery from October

Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica Angustifolia) – Root Ball 180–200cm

Elegant Evergreen Hedging with a Formal Touch

Portuguese Laurel is a refined and compact evergreen hedge plant, prized for its deep green, glossy foliage, red stems, and dense, upright habit. Supplied here as a root ball at an impressive 180–200cm, it’s ideal for creating instant privacy, formal boundaries, or classic garden structure with a touch of elegance.

Slower-growing and more compact than Cherry Laurel, Portuguese Laurel is easier to manage and tolerates shaping beautifully, making it a favourite for tidy, long-lasting hedges.

  • Foliage: Glossy dark green leaves with rich red stems

  • Growth Rate: Moderate – approx. 30–50cm per year
