Cherry Laurel
Prunus caroliniana 'Compacta'
Evergreen / Screen
A Tough, Low-Maintenance Evergreen Screen
Cherry Laurel is an attractive, heat-tolerant evergreen that makes an excellent privacy screen — dense, tidy, and low-maintenance. Adaptable across South-Central Texas, it thrives in full sun to part shade and shrugs off our summer heat once established.
