Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20/40cm

Product Code:  PRLA12
Available from August 2012

From Only: £19.13 Ex VAT
Or £1.59 Per plant


Our RHS Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that cell grown plants can become more quickly established than bare root.

Benefits
• RHS cell grown Cherry Laurel hedging plants, under licence granted by the Royal Horticultural Society
• Extended planting season - they can be planted when you want to plant them as long as the roots are kept moist. You are not restricted to the bare root season
• Minimal root disturbance - root systems are supplied intact - with no loss of fine feeding roots and root hairs so once planted they can grow rapidly not suffering the shock that bare root plants will.
• Uniformity - these plants are more uniform.

NB: Our cell grown plants are sold in quantities of 12. Unfortunately we are unable deliver split bundles. We can offer a substantial volume discount. These plants are between 15-30cm high though the actual height may vary due to the growing season.

Complete Product Information for Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20/40cm
Our RHS Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist.

Another advantage of cell grown Cherry Laurel is that it can be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. As long as the roots are kept moist, cell grown plants can be planted throughout the year.

Prunus laurocerasus, also known as Cherry laurel, is an evergreen hedge, growing to 5-15 m tall, rarely to 18 m tall, with a trunk up to 60 cm diameter. The leaves are dark green, leathery, shiny, (5–)10–25(–30) cm long and 4-10 cm broad, with a finely serrated margin. The flower buds appear in early spring and open in early summer in erect 7-15 cm racemes of 30–40 flowers, each flower 1 cm diameter, with five creamy-white petals and numerous yellowish stamens. The fruit is a small cherry 1-2 cm diameter, turning black when ripe in early autumn.

The common name `cherry laurel` refers to the similarity of foliage and appearance to the true laurel, Laurus nobilis (Lauraceae). However, the two plants are in different families and are unrelated.
