Description

Prunus laurocerasus 'Gajo' is a vigorous evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green leaves that provide a dense screen or hedge in the garden. Its robust growth habit makes it a popular choice for creating privacy or windbreaks in a variety of garden settings.

This cultivar prefers full sun to part shade and is hardy across most UK regions. It produces small, creamy-white flowers which, while not the main feature, can add seasonal interest to its lush foliage. 'Gajo' is generally easy to grow and maintain with appropriate pruning.
