Cherry Laurel ‘Centre Court’ (Prunus caroliniana Centre Court)

Here’s why you should get to know Cherry Laurel:

• Beautiful, resilient tree grows well in urban settings
• Versatile and compact enough to use as a hedge or shrub
• Incredible white blooms resemble cherry flowers
• Sweet fragrance

The Cherry Tree that’s also a Cherry Shrub

The versatility of the Cherry Laurel makes it a favorite among discriminating landscapers. The Cherry-or English Laurel as it’s also known-can be pruned to form an ornamental hedge that will provide a showy screen for all to admire from either side. For those who love the look of a cherry without the edible fruit, the Laurel is a sweet alternative to common hedges.

Put a little English on it

Imagine lining your landscape’s boundaries dressed with a hedge that’s easy to care for as well as beautiful. That’s what you get with the English Laurel. The rich, waxy green foliage is only outdone by the white, fragrant racemes that bloom in the spring. The soft, showy clusters of flowers give way to red berries to add the perfect accent.

Although the Cherry Laurel possesses a gentle beauty for a hedge, its ability to withstand the most challenging environments makes it a favorite among landscapers and home gardeners. Whether you plant it as a tree or incorporate it as a designer shrub, don’t hedge!
