Prunus laurocerasus – Laurel:150 – 180cm (Rootballed)

Fast-growing, bushy evergreen, good for hedges and game cover in woodlands. Tolerates shade and damp conditions.

This instant impact 5-6′ hedging comes root-balled as the plants are very strong. A ‘Root-ball’ is a roughly spherical aggregate of roots and soil, that is transplanted with the plant. The hessian wrapping surrounding the root-ball should not be removed, as it is fully biodegradable ensuring there is no packaging waste.

The weight of the root-ball also helps stabilize the tree and prevent tilting or falling. Finally, the root-ball soil contains beneficial microbes and other soil organisms that can help ease transplant shock to the root system.

Requires a stake and soft tie to secure at an angle to the stem, thus avoiding piercing the root-ball.

The planting season for bare-rooted trees and shrubs is generally between the months of November – March
