If you need hardy dense evergreen screening that looks good all year round, Cherry Laurel Hedging is a perfect choice. Cherry Laurel (Prunus Laurocerasus) is fast growing, hardy and does well in exposed areas as it withstands high winds very well and thrives in coastal areas. Extremely versatile, Cherry Laurel hedging also grows very well in the shade. It makes an ideal formal hedge and comes into its own when used as a formal evergreen screen over a large space.

The Cherry Laurel (Prunus Laurocerasus) is a large leafed evergreen that lends itself well to being pruned, which should be done regularly. It has lovely glossy green leaves and scented white flowers from April to May. The Cherry Laurel produces red berries in the summer which turn black once ripe. Cherry laurel berries are a particular favourite of blackbirds!

The Cherry Laurel (Prunus Laurocerasus) is most popularly used as evergreen hedging  and is a faster grower than its cousin the smaller leaf Portuguese Laurel. Cherry Laurel hedging tends to be thick and dense in habit and makes a hardy hedge with attractive glossy foliage all year round. The new leaves in particular are a lovely light green. Cherry Laurel has been awarded the RHS Perfect for Pollinators badge as well as the prestigious Award of Garden Merit.

Cherry Laurel is an ideal hedge for large spaces and is extremely versatile in terms of growing conditions – thriving in sun or shade, shelter or windblown. This mature cherry laurel hedge pictured below is thriving in its coastal environment against a shady North facing wall. It needs a light trim which it will get in the next week or so. It was last trimmed in April so although they are fast growing, these dense hedges are quite manageable.
