Laurel, Cherry or Common / Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia'

Cherry or Common Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) A large shrub or small evergreen tree with large shiny leaves that are dark green on top, pale green on the underside, Common Laurel is generally grown as a hedge. It is an ideal screen or noise barrier as it makes a thick, pollution tolerant hedge, perfect for roadside planting. It also gives good cover for game and small animals. If left untrimmed, the laurel bush will produce fragrant white flowers in spring, followed by poisonous (to humans) red/black cherry-like fruit. A shade tolerant plant, laurel should be clipped in mid-summer. THESE PLANTS ARE CONTAINER GROWN OR ROOTBALLED AND ARE HEAVY - PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO SURCHARGE FOR DELIVERY
