Commonly Asked Questions

How far apart should I plant Portuguese Laurels for a screening hedge?

Planting 1 meter apart is ideal for creating a thick privacy screen or hedge.

 

Can Portuguese Laurels be pleached?

Portuguese Laurel are a popular choice for pleaching, which can be achieved through selective pruning. Look for straight plants with a strong central leader.  This creates drama in your garden design and allows space for contrasting underplanting. Looking for plants that have already been pleached? Consider our Portuguese Standards instead.

 

When should I prune my Portuguese Laurels?

Late winter is an ideal time to prune, before the new Spring foliage comes through/
