📏 How Many Cherry Laurel Plants Will I Need?

For a dense evergreen hedge, we generally recommend planting approximately 2 plants per metre, spaced around 50cm apart.

Hedge Length	Approximate Plants Required
2.5 metres	5 plants
5 metres	10 plants
10 metres	20 plants
15 metres	30 plants
20 metres	40 plants
25 metres	50 plants
30 metres	60 plants

These quantities are approximate and based on a single-row hedge.

Because these plants are already 150–180cm tall, wider spacing may also be suitable depending on their existing spread and how quickly you want the hedge to fill out.

Please note: A minimum order of 10 plants applies to this product.

🍂 Apply Mulch – A layer of mulch helps retain moisture and reduce weed competition.

🌿 Monitor During the First Growing Season – Larger evergreen shrubs need particular attention while establishing.

Because these plants have a greater foliage area, consistent watering is especially important during their first growing season.

✂️ Pruning and Maintaining Your Cherry Laurel Hedge

Regular trimming helps encourage dense foliage and maintains an attractive hedge shape.

✂️ When to Trim – Cherry Laurel is commonly trimmed in late spring or summer, depending on growth and hedge condition.

🌿 Encourage Dense Growth – Lightly trim suitable new growth to encourage branching.

🌳 Maintain Hedge Shape – Keep the hedge slightly wider at the base to allow light to reach the lower branches.
