Once established, your evergreen Schipka Cherry Laurel (Skip Laurel) will need no maintenance at all!
This gorgeous, dense evergreen can be trained as a hedge or left unclipped to show off its naturally beautiful shape…
But if you want a fast, dense screen or privacy hedge, then the Skip Laurel is the right choice.
This evergreen is hardy and resistant in every way possible…
- Drought tolerant - no need to water after it's established
- Deer resistant - not many evergreens can say that!
- Tolerant of air pollution - great for cities and urban landscapes

- Grows the same in shade or sun - perfect for any spot in your yard
No matter where you plant your Skip Laurel, you'll get dense, glossy evergreen foliage.
The more you plant together, the denser the foliage becomes…
Growing 2 ft. each year, you can grow an impenetrable screen or hedge in no time at all.
Or let the unclipped Skip Laurel grow naturally and get a spring show of gorgeous, white, candle-like flowers with dark berries in autumn and winter.
Whether you need a fast, thick hedge for privacy, wind screening or as barrier for dust and traffic noise…
Or you just want to plant a stunning evergreen, but don't have the time for maintenance...
Note: If your plant arrives with holes or damaged leaves, don’t be alarmed! Laurels do not like being in containers, so it is very common for this cosmetic damage to occur. Once plant your Laurel in the ground, new growth will emerge happy, healthy and hole-free. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us!

laurel for privacy hedge
Arrived in great condition and well packaged. I need to start a privacy hedge and this was an economical choice. These grow fast, a foot or more each year. Locally all I can find is 5 gallon size, expensive and hard to transport and plant by yourself.
Great service on time delivery
Great service on time delivery very healthy product great price.
Skip Laurels arrive healthy and larger than expected
I was pleased with the size and healthiness of my Skip Laurels when they arrived. They were not damaged at all during shipping.
Skip Laurels!
I ordered 12 Skip Laurel, and then a few days later another 3 Skip Laurel. Eisha handled both orders for me. She was both friendly and professional. She explained everything to me and helped me with the orders. I received all 15 plants in 3 days and they were all in excellent condition. I planted them 2 days later, and after only the first 10 days they appear to have new growth on them! I am very happy with my orders!!
Looking forward to watching them mature!
The skip laurels arrived a little worse for the wear from their trip. I’ve plated two in my front yard as a hedge. The leaves had holes in them and they looked a little weary. I understand that’s normal. Just don’t want to have planted them only to have to replace them next summer. A little worried but excited at the same time. I staked them to prepare for possible windy weather ahead. Crossing my fingers that they’ll take off in the spring! Thank you!
