Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica) is one of the best choices for creating a smart, dense, and long-lasting evergreen hedge. With its glossy dark green leaves, reddish stems, and compact growth, it provides excellent year-round cover and privacy. In summer, clusters of fragrant white flowers appear, followed by small red berries that ripen to black, adding seasonal interest for both people and wildlife.
Rootballs are an economical way to plant larger hedges, offering great value for money while giving you instant impact. These plants establish quickly when planted in the ground during the colder months (generally November to April), making them perfect for anyone looking to achieve a thick, attractive hedge without waiting years for results.
