Prunus lusitanica ‘Portugal laurel’ – 250MM

(Not currently available to be ordered)

I am Portuguese laurel. My family originated from Western Mediterranean

Botanic Name: Prunus lusitanica

**Bushy – Screening/Hedging**
I am a stunning evergreen small rounded large shrub to small tree. I have glossy, deep-green leaves which form a dense, year-round canopy. I am a great way to create structure, provide screening and bring beauty to the landscape. I make a great stately hedge, a refined topiary, or a majestic standalone feature. In spring I bloom with clusters of delicate, fragrant white flowers that cascade in graceful racemes, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. My blooms are followed by small, deep-red berries that ripen to a glossy black, providing a feast for birds and wildlife. Hardy and adaptable, I thrive in most soils. I do well in most conditions tolerating drought, shade, polluted environments and exposed locations. I am naturally bushy and require minimal maintenance to look my best. I can be clipped to formal shapes working well in both formal and informal designs. Whether lining a grand avenue, enclosing a serene garden retreat, or providing a lush green screen against the elements, combined with my season changes, I bring both charm and practicality to your garden.
