I am thinking about planting a new hedge and the shrub/plant I have in mind is Prunus Lusitanica (Portuguese Laurel).
The problem is, I have a requirement for about 200m of hedge and any plants I have seen in local garden centres have been semi-mature and are crazy money.
I am in no hurry for this hedge and am prepared to grow it from start. Does anyone know if this plant is suitable for "cutting" and if so how/when is this done. Alternatively, does anyone know of a source for small (read : cheap) potted specimens of this plant?
