    Laurel Varieties - Prunus & Aucuba Species

    You can buy three types of Laurel from us. They are all broadleaf evergreens, ideal hedge plants and they will thrive in any well-drained location. They are great for shady trouble spots with poor, dry soil.

    • Common Laurel: Very popular hedge plant with large green leaves.
    • Spotted Laurel: Has spotted leaves and very dense growth. Will grow on chalk, unlike common laurel.
    • Portugal Laurel: Has smaller leaves than the others. It tolerates chalky soil and it is also the best choice for cold, exposed locations.

    Delivery information:
    The planting and delivery season for bareroot Laurel plants is November - March.
    Pot-Grown Laurel is more expensive and it is delivered year round.

    Common and Spotted laurel have big, thick, glossy leaves that are a useful feature in a garden hedge, because they are good at blocking out light, reducing wind speed and muffling noise. These large leaves look their best when they are clipped carefully and removed whole; half-cut leaves develop brown edges and don't look so nice. Proud owners of laurel hedges take great satisfaction in leaving no "split ends" behind and they are rewarded by a lush, beautiful hedge. It does the plants no harm at all to have their leaves trimmed briskly in half with electric shears, this is just about the appearance.
    Portugal laurel has much smaller leaves, so careful clipping is not an issue.


     

    Hello Ashridge, Please forgive this late thank you but this year seems to have flown by. Let me say how impressed I was with the efficiency and precision with which you handled my tree order. Everything was very well packed and out of the 250 rugosa roses, only a couple failed. This didn't matter since you had packed quite a few spares. Given the very dry Spring, I was amazed at how quickly plants became established and although the fruit trees were only maidens, I actually have a couple of apples this year! Thanks again for a first class service and very keen prices.
