Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia' is the classic laurel hedge, with large, rounded, bright green glossy leaves. It grows quickly into a dense evergreen screen and copes with sun or shade.
Trim in late summer, ideally with secateurs or a sharp hedge trimmer, as cut leaves can brown at the edges. The Extra Bushy 175–200cm grade is fuller and wider, for an instant screen.

About root ball plants
These are field-grown plants, lifted with their soil and wrapped in hessian during the dormant season (roughly November to March). Root balls give you a bigger plant for your money than pot-grown stock and establish well when planted promptly.
Delivery
Lifted to order at the nursery and delivered on a pallet, usually within 2 weeks. One pallet delivery charge per order, however many plants you buy.
Planting
- Plant within a few days of delivery. Until then, keep the root balls moist and sheltered, and don't let them dry out or freeze.
- Dig a hole or trench twice the width of the root ball and the same depth.
- Loosen the hessian at the top but leave it in place; it rots down in the soil.
- Firm in well and water thoroughly. Keep watering through the first spring and summer, especially in dry spells.
