Care Advice for Your Cherry Laurel Hedge

Cherry Laurel is a low-maintenance hedging species that requires a light trim once a year. However, if you’re looking for a more formal aesthetic, you may wish to carry out a second trim to keep the foliage neat. Prune your Laurel hedge in late winter or early spring, removing any damaged or diseased shoots.
