Prunus Lusitanica (Portuguese Laurel)

Prunus lusitanica, or Portuguese Laurel, is a refined evergreen grown in standard form, admired for its dark green, leathery leaves and naturally compact, rounded crown. It brings order and sophistication to any landscape, from smart gardens to structured urban planting.

With a crown starting at approximately 1.8–2 metres and reaching a mature height of up to 5 metres, it’s well suited for use as above-fence screening, along driveways, or in formal avenues. The tight, leafy canopy ensures privacy while maintaining a clean, sculpted shape.

This versatile tree adapts well to loam, chalk, and clay soils and thrives in full sun or shaded sites. It’s particularly tolerant of wind, pollution, and coastal conditions. Clusters of small white flowers bloom in early summer, adding subtle seasonal interest.
