Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia' Hedging (Rootballed)
Cherry Laurel Hedging
A vigorous evergreen hedge with large, glossy green foliage, ideal for creating dense year-round privacy and screening quickly.
Prunus laurocerasus ‘Rotundifolia’, commonly known as Cherry Laurel, is one of the most popular evergreen hedging plants for creating substantial garden boundaries. Its large, glossy green leaves form a dense screen, providing excellent privacy throughout the year.
Fast growth and a naturally bushy habit make Cherry Laurel particularly useful where screening needs to establish quickly. It responds well to regular trimming and can be maintained as a neat boundary hedge or allowed to develop into a taller, more substantial screen.
Why Choose Prunus laurocerasus ‘Rotundifolia’?
Evergreen foliage for year-round screening
Fast growing and quick to establish
Dense growth provides excellent privacy
Large, glossy green leaves
Suitable for taller boundary hedging
Responds well to regular trimming
Tolerant of a wide range of garden conditions
Excellent where substantial screening is required
Why Buy Rootballed Cherry Laurel?
Rootballed Prunus laurocerasus ‘Rotundifolia’ is field-grown and lifted with a substantial ball of soil retained around its root system.
This allows larger, established plants to be supplied economically and makes rootballed Cherry Laurel particularly suitable for longer boundaries and projects where greater initial height and more immediate screening are required.
Available Sizes
Rootballed Cherry Laurel is available in a range of heights, subject to seasonal nursery availability.
Larger specimens provide greater immediate privacy and impact, while smaller plants can offer a more economical solution for longer hedge runs.
How Many Plants Do I Need?
Plant spacing depends upon the size selected and how quickly you want your hedge to develop into a dense, continuous screen.

Root balled hedging is one of the quickest ways to create privacy, structure and definition within a garden. Larger, established plants can provide an immediate sense of enclosure while reducing the time needed for a new hedge to develop into an effective screen. Because root balled hedging can be substantial in both size and weight, careful consideration should be given to delivery access, handling and the route from the delivery point to the final planting position.
Both root balled and bare rooted hedging is covered in this guide.
