Arctic King Laurel is a fast growing evergreen shrub that will thrive in difficult areas of the garden. Its leaves are a dark green colour with a leathery texture and shiny finish. It is a hardy Laurelthat can either make a thick hedge or grow into medium sized trees. White flowers in Spring will fill any garden with bees and butterflies due to the attractive strong sweet scent they produce; this is then followed by cherry-like black fruits in Autumn. Prune from April to the end of August. Early Pruning will put on fresh growth. Ensure you feed your hedge yearly and we recommend Osmo Pro 6 which is a slow release fertiliser perfect for evergreen hedging.

Planting Instructions: Prepare soil with compost and Pro 6 slow release fertiliser before planting. Water plants in well following planting and monitor this especially in dry spells. If planting in a very exposed location we recommend erecting shelter netting (link to website?) which will eliminate harsh wind and give yourLaurel more suitable growing conditions. This will encourage the roots to settle in quickly giving you a healthier hedge.
Care: Prune anytime from April to the End of August. The earlier they are pruned within this timescale the earlier they will put on fresh growth to cover pruning cuts. Try to prune Laurel during a dry spell - preferably prune with a secateurs it leads to less chance of disease. Feed once a year with Osmo Pro 6 .
