Schip laurel, or sometimes called Cherry Laurel, is a great small-to-mid sized privacy barrier choice with multiple size options. They can grow up to 24″ per year and can be sheared/ pruned to shape it nicely. These shrubs love full sun, but can take half shade. You can even create a Schip Laurel fence.
Schip Laurels can create a beautiful solid privacy hedge or laurel fence, and shearing or pruning can help shape them. More privacy can mean more security for your property. Planting these now at the correct spacing can create that instant hedge and peace-of-mind and privacy that everyone wants.
We recommend planting medium size specimens every 3′ for tight hedge shrubs that are just starting to touch. Larger 5′ -6′ specimens can be spaced 4′ apart, or more. Ultimately unless sheared back, these plants can potentially grow up to 8’+ high, but that takes years and any spreading will take some time as well.
