Many people choose Portuguese Laurel hedging as alternative to Yew, Leylandii or Laurel as it is faster growing than Yew (and still looks formal) but not as fast growing as Leylandii or Laurel. Portuguese Laurel offers a more elegant leaf structure while still providing excellent coverage and year-round privacy. It also pairs well with other evergreen hedging plants for mixed planting schemes.

For best results, plant approximately 60cm apart when forming a hedge and water regularly during the first growing season to support strong establishment. Once established, Portuguese Laurel is hardy, low maintenance and highly reliable for long-term screening.

Portuguese Laurel is tolerant of most soil types although it does not like waterlogged soil. It also grows quite happily in full sunshine or in partial shade making it versatile for a number of different situations.

These root balled Portuguese Laurel trees are shown in this picture at 60cm (2ft) apart, which is the correct distance for planting Portuguese Laurel hedging.
