The Schip Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus ‘Schipkaensis’) is a robust, evergreen shrub known for its glossy dark green leaves and upright, narrow habit, making it ideal for hedges or privacy screens in residential landscapes. It typically matures to around 10–15 feet tall and 5–7 feet wide, offering year‑round coverage with minimal gap. In mid‑spring it produces fragrant white flower spikes, which give way to dark berries that attract birds. The plant thrives in full sun to partial shade, adapts to a range of soils (provided they’re well‑drained), and is hardy in USDA zones 6–9. Its combination of dense growth, low maintenance needs, and sleek appearance make it a dependable choice for straightforward evergreen structure in the garden.
