Cherry Laurel 'Rotundifolia'

Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia' is one of the most widely planted evergreen hedging plants in the UK, celebrated for its large, glossy, bright green leaves. It forms a dense, fast-growing screen, offering year-round privacy and sound dampening. It is incredibly tolerant of pruning, making it easy to maintain at various heights and widths. Small, fragrant white flowers are produced in upright racemes in spring, followed by small black berries that are attractive to birds, though toxic to humans. 'Rotundifolia' is very hardy across the UK (H5) and adaptable to a range of soil types, preferring well-drained conditions. It grows well in full sun to full shade, making it a versatile choice for many garden aspects.
