For a standard hedge, 1 plant per metre is sufficient, but use 2 plants per metre for a much denser, immediate screen.
While they can survive in large containers, they perform significantly better and reach their full potential when planted directly into the ground.
Spring and autumn are the ideal times to plant to avoid extreme temperatures, allowing the roots to establish before summer heat or winter frost.
Cherry Laurel is a vigorous shrub that can grow quite large; however, it responds very well to annual pruning to maintain a specific height.
A slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring can help boost vigor, but ensure you follow the package directions to avoid burning the roots.
Usually caused by inconsistent watering; ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
Check soil drainage and consider applying a balanced fertilizer in the early spring.
Regular trimming during the growing season encourages the plant to branch out and thicken.
For optimal results, clear the planting area of weeds and enrich the soil with organic matter. Dig a hole twice the size of the 3-litre pot to encourage root expansion. Space the plants between 0.5 and 1 metre apart depending on your desired density. After placing the plants, backfill with soil and firm it down gently. It is critical to water these plants thoroughly immediately after installation. During the first growing season, maintain a regular watering schedule, especially during dry spells, to prevent stress. Once the plants are established, apply a light trim annually to promote density and keep the hedge at your preferred height.
