Looking for a prunus with real character? Prunus ‘Rotundifolia’ is a great choice. Cherry laurel Rotundifolia is the classic fast-growing laurel hedge.
The Prunus family includes ornamental cherries and evergreen laurels, offering spring blossom as well as dense, glossy hedging.
Prunus ‘Rotundifolia’ grows best in full sun or part shade, in well-drained soil. It is a good choice for hedging and screening, and also works well for specimen trees, weeping standards and containers. Underplant with spring bulbs, or combine with other evergreen hedging.
Give the pot a good soak first. Then dig a wide planting hole, enrich the soil with compost, and plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the ground. Firm in gently and water well, then add a mulch to hold in moisture.
Water in the first year. Prune in summer rather than winter to reduce disease risk. Prune in summer to reduce disease risk. Silver leaf disease if pruned in winter.
Grows in pots. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
