Prunus lusitanica Angustifolia

Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’, commonly known as Portuguese Laurel ‘Angustifolia’, is a highly sought-after evergreen shrub prized for its dense, glossy foliage and elegant growth habit. With an ultimate height and spread of approximately 3–5 metres, this refined hedging plant provides year-round privacy and structure while maintaining a neat and compact form.

This hardy and adaptable shrub thrives in a wide range of soil types, including loam, clay, and sand, provided the soil is well-drained or moist but well-drained. It flourishes in full sun or partial shade and is highly tolerant of urban pollution, making it suitable for gardens in both rural and city environments. Portuguese Laurel ‘Angustifolia’ responds well to pruning, allowing it to be shaped into a formal hedge or left to develop naturally as an ornamental specimen.

In spring, Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’ produces delicate white flower clusters, adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinators. These are followed by small, dark berries that are a valuable food source for birds. The shrub’s robust nature and low maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, and decorative planting.
