Characteristics
The Portuguese laurel can reach up to up to 10 metres tall with 5-6 metres spread of the crown when mature but can be maintained smaller.
Bark and branches are red, the leaves are evergreen, glossy dark green above and light green underneath, oblong shaped with serrated edges.
Fragrant creamy-white flowers appear in June as upright racemes, 12-20cm in length. Dark purple, oval stone fruits appear after flowering. The leaves and fruit of Portuguese laurel are poisonous.
Tip: Portuguese laurel is a good tree for a small garden. It takes well to being cut and can be pruned to shape and size. It is also successful as an evergreen hedge.
