Description
Portuguese Laurel
Portuguese Laurel otherwise known as Prunus lusitanica is more versatile than it’s counterpart Cherry Laurel, accepting even shallow chalk soils and is hardier, making an excellent hedging plant that is easily manageable. An added benefit of being less vigorous than Cherry Laurel is the tightness of the hedge.
