Full Description

 

Sometimes called Cherry laurel this familiar evergreen laurel reaches 10 metres in height and spreads widely. It has been extensively planted for pheasant cover and ornament in Britain since 1576. Laurel Hedging (Prunus Laurocerasus) origin is Eastern Europe and Asia Minor.  Berries are poisonous to humans.

PRUNING is best done during Spring or early summer because new growth will cover up any ‘unsightly’ leaves left by the hedge trimmer.
