Prunus Laurocerasus Rotundifolia is one hell of a mouthful for one of the most common hedging plants in Britain.  Poor old cherry laurel.  Abroad it is known as the “English Laurel” for good reason – no one plants it as much as we do.

That, of course, is because no one understands it like we do. Prunus laurocerasus is the best roadside hedging plant there is, and with our small island, and seemingly unlimited cars (I read the other day somewhere that car numbers had risen ten times in the last thirty years, but roads had only increased in length by 10%) we need good roadside hedging.
