Prunus laurocerasus is a widely cultivated ornamental plant, used for planting in gardens and parks in temperate regions worldwide. It is often used for hedges, as a screening plant, and as a massed landscape plant. Most cultivars are tough shrubs that can cope with difficult growing conditions, including shaded and dry conditions, and which respond well to pruning. Other common names, Common laurel, Cherry Laurel, English Laurel. Ultimate height, 8-10 metres or can be kept at a desired smaller height if trimmed. We recommend to liquid feed over the foliage with a watering can every 1-2 weeks between March - October ( Growing season ). This will keep them green and strong. Don't feed in full sun as the feed soaks into the leaf. Granular feed is also ok around the base to soak into the roots. Once every 4-6 weeks is enough for this. For this size of pot dig a hole half spades depth and width, add some compost or good fine topsoil to help give the plants and roots an easy start. Water every 2-3 days in normal weather for first 4-6 weeks, for hot weather everyday. Plant 3-4 per metre for best results.
