A dependable easy to grow tree, even in dense shade.
Cherry-Laurel will create a very dense screen or hedge with regular
pruning but is also attractive when allowed to grow naturally into its
upright oval, dense form.
This cultivar is more compact and denser than the species. Properly trained
to a central leader, the plant could make a good small to medium-sized
street tree. The tree usually maintains a good central leader and
small-diameter, strong lateral branches following one or two proper
prunings before the tree is 8 to 10 years-old.
In addition to superb foliage and multiple uses the Cherry Laurel features a
white, fragrant flower in early spring. Although the blooms are not
overwhelming they arrive at a time when they are a very welcome sight in
the landscape. The fruit is green, ripening to lustrous black in late fall.
