Prunus Otto Luyken premium laurel hedging
Rootballed hedging plant
Order now for collection/delivery from late November 2023 onwards.
Better known as Compact Laurel.
Evergreen plant keeping leaves year-round. Fragrant white flowers in spring, followed by dark red cherries. Compact, with maximum height 1m. Suitable for sun or shade.
These are premium specimens which are already a good size, so fewer plants will be needed for a full effect. Current height apx 50-60cm.
Field-grown, they will be supplied without pots, but with wrapping to protect their root systems. We strongly recommend the ground is prepared beforehand, so the plants can go in as soon as you receive them. If there is any delay in doing this you should ensure they are kept frost-free and moist until they can be planted.
The cool, wet conditions of autumn are ideal for establishing hedges.
Use for privacy, for windbreaks, for wildlife and to create interest and 'rooms' in your garden.
SPACING: We would recommend 3 plants per metre, but planting density is largely dependent on how quick a result you would like.
Make sure you leave enough space for the eventual depth of the hedge - do not plant right up against boundaries!
PLANTING ADVICE: The hessian wrapped around the rootballs should be left on when planted.
Do not plant when soil is frozen or waterlogged. Make sure plants are well watered prior to planting. Application of rootbuilders such as mycorrhizal fungi or bonemeal can help plants establish.
Water hedging plants during dry spells for the first couple of years. Lightly clip plants all the way around (top and all sides) two or three times a year to encourage bushy growth.
Keep the area around them free of weeds, grass and other plants for the first year or so - you do not want them competing for nutrients.
