Prunus lusitanica - Feathered Tree - Girth 10-12cm - Height 220-250cm - 40lt

The Prunus lusitanica, commonly known as Portuguese Laurel, is a versatile and elegant evergreen tree well-suited for gardens and landscaped habitats. In its feathered form, it is trained with lateral branches retained along a central trunk, creating a full and balanced structure from top to bottom. This form is especially attractive in formal gardens or for use as a tall screen or hedge.

The tree features glossy, deep green leaves with a leathery texture, providing year-round interest. Its reddish stems and white, fragrant flower clusters in early summer add seasonal contrast and appeal. In autumn, small red fruits ripen to dark purple, offering additional ornamental value and attracting birds.

Prunus lusitanica thrives in well-drained soil and adapts well to sun or partial shade, making it suitable for various garden conditions. It is wind-tolerant and relatively low-maintenance once established. Ideal for urban and suburban environments, this tree’s dense foliage provides excellent privacy, noise reduction, and windbreak benefits. Its structured, feathered shape lends a refined, architectural element to both traditional and contemporary landscapes.
