Description
Prunus laurocerasus, commonly known as Cherry Laurel, is a vigorous evergreen tree prized for its large glossy green leaves and dense growth habit. When trained as a pleached tree, it forms a structured panel of foliage above a clear stem, creating an elegant living screen perfect for privacy and garden structure.
The thick evergreen canopy provides year-round coverage, making it ideal for boundary planting, terraces, and formal garden designs. In spring, upright spikes of small fragrant white flowers appear, followed by dark berries that attract birds.
Hardy, adaptable, and fast-growing, Cherry Laurel thrives in a wide range of soil conditions and tolerates both sun and shade, making it one of the most reliable evergreen screening trees available.
Supplied as a pleached specimen with 10–12cm girth and approximately 1.8m clear stem height (pot grown), this structured tree provides immediate screening and architectural impact.
