Portuguese laurel is a versatile and hardy evergreen shrub that can be used for a variety of purposes in the garden. It is often used as a hedge or topiary and can be shaped into a variety of forms to create a stunning ornamental feature. Its dark green leaves and smooth gray bark make it an attractive addition to any garden.
Planting Portugese laurel
When planting Portuguese laurel, it is best to choose a spot in the garden that receives full sun or partial shade. It is also important to ensure that the soil is well-draining and not overly wet. To plant, dig a hole that is slightly wider and deeper than the root ball of the plant. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the plant in the hole and backfill with soil, making sure to firm it down gently to eliminate any air pockets. Water the plant thoroughly after planting.
Maintenance
Portuguese laurel is a low maintenance plant that does not require much pruning. However, it is important to prune it regularly to maintain its shape, especially when using it for hedging or topiary. It is best to prune the plant in late spring or early summer, after it has finished blooming. This will help to promote new growth and keep the plant looking its best. Additionally, it's important to keep an eye out for pests and diseases that could affect the plant, and take action to prevent or treat them as needed.
