Cherry Laurel Plant Height

Prunus laurocerasus L.

The height of a cherry laurel is a morphological trait defined as the distance from the root collar to the highest point of the crown, which varies from 0.7 to 15 meters depending on the genotype and climatic conditions.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Cherry laurel, where this is mentioned in the description.

Cherry laurel is characterized by significant growth variability: dwarf cultivars reach 70–100 cm, while plants in favorable conditions can develop into large trees 6–15 meters tall. The annual growth rate in an optimal environment is 40–60 cm.

This trait is a manageable parameter, as the crop tolerates pruning well, which is used for shaping hedges or limiting dimensions. In regions with severe winters, plant height is often limited by natural frost damage to the above-ground parts, which keeps the plant development within 1 meter.
