The Hardiest Hedge You Can Grow!
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
- Adaptable to dry, poor soil - plant it anywhere
- 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!

Nice Skip Laurels
So far so good, overall. We've found they require more water than we anticipated. But then again, we live in Texas so--. We're looking forward to them growing into bigger bushes. If so, we'd consider ordering more.
Beautiful and healthy plus great customer service
We ordered eight schipka cherry laurels, and they all arrived in excellent condition, very healthy and green. They’ve been in the ground two weeks now and appear to be thriving. Great price, fast delivery!
Very sarisfied
I was glad to do business with Fast Growing Trees. Shipme t of my order was expedient. The plants were delivered without damage. The plants are in the ground now and I can't wait to see how they develop. Thank you, Joe

This, along with other products I’ve received, have all been very healthy when arrived at my door. Packaged well and lots of green on them. These are doing well and I’m excited to see how they will bush out!
