Portuguese Laurel 175/200cm Root Ball (Prunus lusitanica)
Product Code: PL-RB-175/200
Portugese Laurel Hedge - (Prunus lusitanica 'Angustifolia')
Description
Sitting as quite an elegant evergreen hedge, Portuguese Laurel also offers delicate, fragrant, small white flowers that blossom in Summer and easily attract the bees and butterflies - as well as delivering small red fruits for the birds. It is the perfect hedge for offering wind protection, noise reduction and year-round screening, as well as being a reasonably fast growing, compact hedge, proving it to be suitable for any garden style.
Key Features
Prunus lusitanica Angustifolia is rather easy to grow and can tolerate all soil conditions/situations (even dry shade)- Chalk soils are a great choice for the Portuguese Laurel. Though, we do recommend that, if growing in dry shade, you keep the plant fed and moist until it is established, and we do not advise planting in coastal positions. It is rather hardy and resilient, but some wind protection may also be needed in places where windburn could be seen as a potential problem. You must also note that the leaves and berries are harmful if eaten, as with other varieties in the Laurel family (except Bay).
