Prunus lusitanica (Portuguese Laurel – Multi-Stem)

Prunus lusitanica, commonly known as Portuguese Laurel, is an elegant evergreen multi-stem tree with year-round appeal and excellent structural value. Its rich, dark green leaves and reddish stems bring contrast and sophistication to both modern and traditional garden schemes. In multi-stem form, it provides a naturally architectural silhouette, ideal for courtyards, screening, or as a statement specimen.

In early summer, fragrant white flower spikes appear, followed by small dark berries that add subtle seasonal interest. The foliage remains dense and glossy all year, making it a fantastic choice for evergreen coverage with a refined appearance.

Portuguese Laurel performs well in the UK climate, tolerating shade, sun, and a wide range of soil types including chalk and clay. It is wind-resistant, drought-tolerant once established, and easily maintained with light pruning.

We regularly stock multi-stem Prunus lusitanica in pot sizes from 45L to 100L, with heights typically between 150cm and 300cm. If you require a specific form or size, we are happy to source bespoke options on request.
