Returns Simplified.Prunus laurocerasus ‘Rotundifolia’ (cherry laurel) is a vigorous, evergreen hedging shrub valued for its large, glossy green leaves that form a dense, year-round screen. If left untrimmed it bears upright racemes of small white flowers in spring, followed by cherry-like fruit, and it copes well with a wide range of soils and light levels from sun to shade. Ideal for privacy, structure and shelter, an established hedge can reach around 58m in height with a spread of approximately 48m if left unpruned.
Feeding time: Spring (apply a balanced general-purpose fertiliser around the base) Trimming time: Late spring to early summer (after flowering) for the main trim; a second light trim in late summer if needed
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.
