A touch of southern charm graces any landscape with the inclusion of the Cherry Laurel (Prunus caroliniana). This native North American shrub or small tree thrives in the southeastern United States, stretching from the Carolinas down to Florida and west to Texas. Mature specimens typically reach 15-30 feet tall, boasting a dense, pyramidal to oval form. Cherry Laurel is a versatile plant, well-suited for a variety of landscaping needs. Whether you desire a stunning evergreen screen to add privacy, a beautiful flowering accent, or a low-maintenance hedge, the Cherry Laurel can deliver. Beyond its adaptability, the Cherry Laurel offers captivating features throughout the year. In late winter to early spring, the tree erupts in a delightful display of fragrant, white flowers clustered in racemes. These blooms may be small, but their delicate beauty and pleasant scent add a touch of elegance to the spring landscape. Following the flowers, the Cherry Laurel produces small, green fruits that mature to a shiny black by fall. Despite the caution with the fruits, the Cherry Laurel boasts numerous benefits. Once established, it requires minimal watering thanks to its drought tolerance. It also thrives in a variety of light conditions, tolerating full sun to partial shade.
