🌿 Portuguese Laurel (Prunus Lusitanica) – 80–100cm Planted Height | 7.5 Litre Pot
Outstanding value at this size — buy now and watch it jump two size brackets within a season or two.
At 80–100cm in planted height (excluding pot), this is already a well-established, lush specimen. Supplied in a generous 7.5 litre pot — larger than many competitors — meaning a bigger root system, thicker stems, and denser foliage from the start. With growth of 30–40cm per year, you'll quickly have a plant that would cost significantly more to buy at that size today.
⚠️ Unlike many suppliers, all heights quoted by Hedging Supplies are the true planted height — excluding pot height. What you see is what you get.

Planting Tips
💧 Watering – Essential for Success
Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.
Rootballed Plants
Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.
Potted Plants
Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.
Trees & Tall Plants
When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
