WANTED: Need a Laurel Hedge

13 years ago

I am looking to put in a long hedge made of laurel. Would maybe consider other plants, but like the laurel best so far. Would anyone consider letting me take branches (or prune) their laurel hedge so I can make starts?

We have a very large yard, so would welcome most plants that do well in the Puget Sound area. Thanks!

I am always pulling up seedlings of Prunus laurocerasus in our woodland from plants/hedges in the area that have been left to bloom and set seed.
Please be conscientious and do not let yours set seed, or prune off the bloom or seeds.

You can make cuttings and stick them in the ground in fall. Start with long sticks and bury them 1/3 of their length. Keep them watered and they will take.
