Half Standard Laurel Trees
At Harrod Outdoors, we characterise half standard laurel trees as those with a clear, straight trunk up to 179 cm in height. This form allows the canopy to develop above, creating a balanced and symmetrical structure that fits perfectly into a variety of garden designs. Half standard Laurel, such as Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’, Prunus laurocerasus ‘Genolia’, and Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus), are excellent choices for adding structure and privacy to your outdoor space.
Why Choose Laurel Trees?
Laurel trees provide both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. Their dense, evergreen foliage ensures year-round greenery and privacy, making them ideal for creating screens or borders. The structured canopy not only adds height and symmetry to garden designs but also provides shade and wind protection. These trees thrive in the UK climate, offering a low-maintenance option for gardeners looking to enhance their landscapes with minimal effort.
Key Features and Benefits
The half standard form of Laurel trees offers a perfect blend of form and function. The trees’ dense foliage is perfect for privacy screens, while their manageable height allows them to fit seamlessly into various garden styles. These trees require little pruning to maintain their shape, making them a low-maintenance option that still provides significant visual impact. Their symmetrical canopies contribute to a polished, structured look, whether used in formal rows or as standalone features in the garden.
