Cherry Laurel Hedging (Prunus laurocerasus ‘Rotundifolia’)

Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) is a top choice for creating fast-growing, dense hedges. With broad, glossy green leaves that provide a lush, evergreen backdrop, it’s an excellent option for year-round privacy and wind protection. Known for its vigorous growth, this hardy shrub quickly forms a thick, tall barrier, making it perfect for those seeking an instant screen.

Cherry Laurel thrives in a range of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and grows well in most soil types as long as they are well-draining. For best results, avoid planting in waterlogged areas. Regular feeding will help maintain the rich green foliage that makes this hedge stand out. We recommend cutting back by a third after planting to encourage strong, bushy growth and to help your new hedge establish itself quickly.
