Prunus Rotundifolia (Cherry Laurel) 80-100cm Tall, 5 Litre Pot

80-100cm plant in a 5 litre pot.

Cherry laurel (prunus rotundifolia) is a fast growing hedging plant that is easy to grow.

‘Rotundifolia’ is vigorous, bushy and upright in habit, reaching a height of 5m. Oblong, glossy leaves are twisted around upon themselves, and are pale green beneath. Cup-shaped fragrant white flowers in upright racemes 5-12cm long in mid and late spring are followed by cherry-like red fruits, ripening to black.

Prunus can be deciduous or evergreen trees or shrubs with showy flowers in spring, and often good autumn foliage colour. Some have edible fruit in autumn, and a few species have ornamental bark.
