Prunus laurocerasus ‘Genolia’ is a narrow, upright cherry laurel ideal for slim, spacesaving evergreen hedges. Its columnar habit forms dense screening that suits formal or architectural lines, and it copes well with sun, partial shade or shade. In spring, mature plants can produce small white flower racemes, though flowering may be reduced if regularly clipped. Left untrimmed, plants can reach around 34m in height and about 0.81m in width; regular trimming will maintain a tighter hedge.
Feeding time: Spring (MarchApril) with a light application of general-purpose fertiliser around the root zone Trimming time: After flowering in late spring to early summer (MayJune); a light second trim in late summer (August) if needed to keep a neat line
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
