Laurel Hedging

Laurel hedging (Prunus laurocerasus Rotundifolia) is a fast growing evergreen hedge widely used as for its dense growing habit. Glossy attractive foliage and tolerant of damp and shady positions. Laurel will reach a height of 4-5m but can easily be pruned to maintain a more formal shape. For a dense hedge plant at a distance of 1/2m centres.

Although not grown for its flowers the common Cherry Laurel does have them, fragrant and white in spring. Usually pruned away so we tend not to see them much. They are followed by small poisenous black berries in autumn. A few cultivars such as L.'etna' which is a smaller growing or 'compact cultivar' and 'Otto Luyken' another smaller growing plant

GROWING PRUNING PROBLEMS and DISEASES
Laurel hedges are popular because they are tough, evergreen withstand dry conditions they are also fairly fast growing and provide a dense form of hedge useful as a screening plant. They also cope with being pruned fairly hard, they can be kept to 1-2m or lleft to 5m depending on need. Try pruning so that the hedge tapers in a little at the top, remember to remove all of the pruned material, including the leaves to prevent disease problems. Watch for aphids and powdery mildew

Laurel Hedges will grow in part shade to full sun and are easily pruned to make a nice formal tall hedge.
