Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Prepare the soil with compost to promote healthy growth.
2. Watering: Water regularly during dry spells to help establish the roots. Once established, this cherry laurel is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain desired shape and encourage fuller growth. Heavy pruning is suitable to manage size and promote denser foliage.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to boost growth. Over-fertilization can lead to excessive leaf growth with less blooming.
