Plant Profile
Prunus laurocerasus, commonly known as Cherry Laurel or English Laurel, is a dense, evergreen shrub or small tree native to regions of southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. It typically grows to a height of 4-9 meters with a spread of 4meters, forming a bushy, rounded shape. The glossy, dark green leaves are lanceolate, and in spring, it produces fragrant white flower spikes, followed by small black fruits. Due to its dense growth habit, it is commonly used as a hedge, screen, or windbreak in gardens and landscapes. It is valued for its fast growth, year-round foliage, and ability to tolerate pruning.
