Cherry Laurel ‘Caucasica’ – A Fast-Growing and Versatile Evergreen

Prunus laurocerasus ‘Caucasica’ is a highly adaptable and fast-growing evergreen shrub, making it an excellent choice for both hedging and specimen planting. It is well known for its dense, glossy green foliage, which provides year-round interest and effective screening.

Ideal for Hedging and Screening

Cherry Laurel ‘Caucasica’ forms a tall, upright hedge with narrower, more elongated leavescompared to other varieties, offering a more structured and elegant appearance. It thrives when regularly trimmed, and for a neat hedge, we recommend shaping it with shears to maintain its desired height and density.

Growth Rate and Maintenance

This variety is fast-growing, typically adding 30–60 cm (1–2 feet) per year in optimal conditions. For a well-maintained hedge, prune once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer). If grown as a specimen shrub, it benefits from occasional shaping in line with pruning guidelines such as those set out by the RHS for Group 9 plants.

With its hardy nature, lush foliage, and strong growth, Cherry Laurel ‘Caucasica’ is an excellent choice for those looking to create a dense, attractive, and resilient hedge or specimen plant.
