Prunus laurocerasus 'Schipkaensis' is an evergreen shrub renowned for its dense, glossy dark green foliage and rapid growth. Typically growing 10 to 15 feet tall and 5 to 7 feet wide, it’s an excellent choice for creating hedges or privacy screens. In spring, it produces fragrant white flower spikes, followed by small black berries in late summer that attract birds. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Schip Laurels are adaptable to various soil types and are low maintenance. Hardy in USDA zones 6 to 9, they are also deer-resistant and tolerant of urban pollution, making them a resilient and versatile addition to landscapes.
