Cherry laurel prices are highly dependent on the size and variety of the plant chosen. It is important not only to keep an eye on the costs when buying, but also to pay attention to the health of the wood.

Where can you buy cherry laurel?

The laurel cherry is one of the most popular hedge plants and is part of the standard range of almost every garden retailer. You will receive young plants:

  • in the garden center or hardware store
  • in regional nurseries
  • in many online shops specializing in plants
  • through private providers
  • in online auction houses

Recognize healthy and strong bay cherries

To ensure that the hedge grows well, becomes dense quickly and forms the desired privacy screen, it is important to only plant healthy and strong shrubs. You can recognize healthy laurel cherries as follows:

  • The root ball is firm and closed and will not break apart when removed from the container.
  • The root system is well developed and shows no rot.
  • Leaves and shoots are glossy green with no signs of fungal disease or feeding marks.

The price for a single bush

Bay cherries are available in specialist shops in many different sizes, ages and varieties. While you only have to plan two euros for a cherry laurel with a growth height of about forty centimeters, the shrub with a growth height of 125 centimeters costs at least fifty euros. 1.75 meter tall laurel cherries, which already offer a very good privacy screen due to their height, are available from around 75 euros. If you need numerous bushes, you can keep the costs lower by using cheap large containers.

Large plants for instant privacy

So that the neighbors don't look at your plate, you can first plant a few larger shrubs in places in the garden that are easily visible. As soon as the trees are rooted, you can grow more cherry laurel bushes yourself by lowering them or cuttings. This work requires some time and patience, but breeding your own offspring can save a lot of money.

tips and tricks

The cherry laurel often multiplies by itself through self-sowing. Dig up the small laurel cherries in spring and move them to the desired spot in the garden.
