Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia', commonly known as the Cherry Laurel, is the most popular planted hedging that there is here in the UK. It's very easy to grow and maintain, known for their large glossy leaves, but they can also provide small, white, fragrant blooms in the spring followed by 'Cherry-like' red fruits that later turn black. A fast growing hedge plant, they reach their ultimate height of 4-8 metres in 5-10 years with a spread of 2.5-4 metres.

Aftercare

When you've planted your hedge plants, they'll need watering daily throughout the months of March to October. October/November are the preferred months to plant hedges for many so their hedge requires less watering and roots will establish over the Autumn/Winter period but they can be planted all year round.
