Prunus laurocerasus Zabeliana
'Zabeliana Laurocerasus'
Zabeliana cherry laurel has narrower leaves and a more spreading framework than many cherry laurels. Its glossy evergreen foliage and white spring flowers suit a broad shrub border where the branches can develop naturally.
Its structure combines a narrow, columnar outline and dense branching. Growth is fast. The foliage supplies a year-round framework.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide humus-rich, well-drained soil.
