Excellent at blocking out neighbours, windows and other unsightly views, plant Cherry and Portuguese laurel trees to create a natural screen.
Our Laurel standards have clear stems and bushy heads of evergreen foliage that sit above the fence line to enhance privacy without encroaching on the rest of the garden! Perfect for planting in a row to create an uninterrupted screen, you could also strategically plant one tree to block a specific view!
If planting in a row, we recommend planting the trees at 1.2-1.5m centres so that they will grow into each other! Measure the boundary before planting so that you can space the trees out evenly.
Pleached Trees
If you prefer a formal appearance, then you could go for a Pleached laurel instead. Known for their instant screening effect, these pleached trees have a clear stem and branches trained onto a flat framework.
Frequently Asked Questions
Container grown trees can be planted all year round. Watch our video guide on how to do so.
As a guide, we recommend giving each tree 5 litres of water every other day during the growing season. The water should be directed at the base of the trunk.
5 Litres is a good starting point to make sure that the ground stays moist, if the soil starts to become saturated or dry adjust the amount as required.
We can offer our planting service if you are local to the nursery. Planting prices are dependent on the size of the pot. Please contact us if you would like a quote.
