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…

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…

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.

So far really great
It arrived on good condition with a few yellow leaves toward the bottom. Immediately watered it. Planted it the next day. So far it looks good!
Skip Laurels
Ordered about 8 skip laurels last spring. They came in great condition. We kept them in our screened in back porch until planting was safe from frost in May. It is now late July and they are thriving and growing! I would order happily again!

Hello! We planted the laurels yesterday!! I'm looking forward to watching their growth!! Thank you! Dawn Rose
A bit smaller than expected
Shipping was faster than expected--arrived just a few days after I had submitted my order. I ordered two 5-gallon shrubs to fit two square pots that had an opening of 80cm x 80cm and they were very roomy in the pots, but I'm hoping they will grown quickly.
Good-looking, hearty skip laurels and
