Complete Product Information for Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica) Pack of 12
This RHS Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica) is a useful dense, evergreen hedge with pointed dark green glossy leaves on red stems. White scented flowers appear in June in long slender racemes followed by small red fruits which turn black in winter. Prefers medium to light shade but tolerant of deep shade and full sunlight. Any soil including shallow chalk.

The plants come with their root systems intact whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September-October to March - April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact unlike bare root you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the worlds forestry trees are now cell grown!
