🌳 Why Choose Cherry Laurel Hedging?
🌿 Beautiful Evergreen Foliage
Cherry Laurel produces large, glossy green leaves that remain attractive throughout the year, making it an excellent choice for creating a lush, natural garden boundary.
Unlike deciduous hedging plants, Cherry Laurel retains its foliage throughout winter, providing continuous greenery and privacy.
🚀 Fast-Growing Privacy Screening
With a potential annual growth rate of approximately 30–60cm in favourable conditions, Cherry Laurel is ideal for gardeners wanting to establish an attractive privacy hedge relatively quickly.
Its dense foliage helps screen neighbouring properties, roads and unwanted views.
🏡 A Natural Alternative to Fencing
Create a living garden boundary with Cherry Laurel hedging. Its evergreen foliage provides attractive screening while helping to soften the appearance of walls, fences and buildings.
🪴 Established 90–120cm Plants
Our Cherry Laurel plants are supplied in 3-litre pots at approximately 90–120cm tall.
These larger plants provide a more immediate visual impact than smaller nursery stock, helping you establish an attractive hedge with a head start.
🌱 Hardy and Adaptable
Cherry Laurel is suitable for a wide range of UK gardens and can grow in sunny, partially shaded and shaded positions.
Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate regular pruning.
✂️ Easy to Shape and Maintain
Cherry Laurel responds well to trimming, allowing you to create a neat formal hedge or a more natural evergreen boundary.
For the best appearance, trim regularly and avoid unnecessary damage to the large leaves.
🌱 How to Plant Cherry Laurel Hedging
Planting your Cherry Laurel correctly will help encourage healthy root development and strong growth.
- 🌿 Choose Your Location: Select a suitable position with enough space for the hedge to develop.
- 🌱 Prepare the Ground: Remove weeds and loosen the soil before planting.
- 📏 Plant Spacing: Position your Cherry Laurel plants approximately 60cm apart for a dense hedge.
- 🕳️ Dig Planting Holes: Make each hole approximately twice the width of the root ball and deep enough to accommodate it.
- 🪴 Remove the Pot: Carefully remove the plant from its 3-litre nursery pot without damaging the roots.
- 🌳 Position the Plant: Place it at the same depth it was growing in the pot.
- 💧 Water Thoroughly: Backfill with soil, firm gently and water well.
- 🌿 Apply Mulch: Add a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
Important: Water regularly during the first growing season, particularly during warm or dry weather, to help your Cherry Laurel hedge establish successfully.
