A glossy evergreen that stays compact and dense, giving you clean structure and privacy with very little fuss

FEATURES: 

  • Compact, very bushy habit that holds a rounded shape instead of stretching and getting leggy
  • Thick, lustrous, leathery foliage that stays rich green for year-round structure
  • New growth emerges bronze-red to dark red, then matures to bright green for built-in color contrast
  • Fragrant, creamy white flower spikes in spring add a soft seasonal lift
  • Small black fruit can follow bloom for subtle late-season interest
  • Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
  • Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box

Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:

For a hedge that looks tailored instead of bulky, plant in a consistent line, keep a generous mulch strip underneath, and layer softer shapes in front like ornamental grasses or low mounding shrubs so the cherry laurel becomes a crisp green backdrop; if you prune, do it in spring or summer to encourage dense growth, and aim for a slightly wider base than top so light reaches the lower branches and it stays full from the ground up.

Why Plant Volcano Cherry Laurel?

Volcano is the evergreen you pick when you want your landscape to look buttoned-up in every season, not just the week after mulch day. It’s prized for a compact, dense habit and glossy foliage that reads polished from the street, plus that bonus flush of bronze-red new growth that adds depth without you lifting a finger. In spring, it sweetens the deal with fragrant creamy-white flower spikes, and later you may see small black fruit for an understated finish.

How to use Volcano Cherry Laurel in the landscape?

Use Volcano as a clean evergreen screen along a fence or property line when you want privacy that still feels refined, or mass it in a bed to create a lush, glossy backdrop for hydrangeas, roses, and perennials. It also works beautifully in foundation plantings where you need dependable year-round structure that won’t swallow windows or spill into walkways, and it’s happy in sun to part shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
