You are so welcome

Nice garden Dan! We like planting mixed hedges as shelter belts in case 1 species doesn't do well. Wild fruit such as elder, sloe, crab apple, wild plum and even some currants or gooseberry in the understory turn the hedge into a foraging habitat for both ourselves and the wildlife. A nice way to increase fertility naturally slowly over time. :D

Hey, wow that sounds lovley and full of abundance! We just got some bare root hazels and wild plums and have tons of currants self seeded in our food forest, so could dot them around! Thank you for your comment, nice to hear from you..

Nice video, I like beech hedges myself. Green in summer and brown dead leaves in winter. Beautiful with the season. I have a lot of boxwood, but there is infestation of the boxwood moth.

Great choice Boer, I (Laurie) really love beach too, for the beautiful Autumn colours its provides all winter ✌️🌿

Hi Dan, love the video and it has helped me to make a decision. Can you tell me the distance between each plant if I were to get them at 6-7’ high. I don’t have 6 years to watch them grow as tall as I want!!!

Thanks - glad the video was helpfully. Probably 1 plant per metre and prune the tops initially if its was me - this may seem counter productive at first, but will help them to bush out quicker. Hope that helps ✌️🌿

Hi, Now/over Winter is the best time 👍

I bought some 6.5ft laurel root balls and planted them about 5 weeks ago now, but a lot of the leaves are turning yellow and falling off. Any ideas? Am I just not watering enough?

Are you in the UK? It could just be the stress from transplant shock. Best to keep them well moist, but not sodden, if your in the UK, the Rain we have had recently should have been more than enough after an initial watering in. Bigger plants can have a harder time settling in though - Do they have any new growth coming on them yet?

NIce cheap way to create a screen, sadly we can't plant cherry laurel as we have with livestock and dogs. Wouldn't want to poison them 🤥

We have dogs too - generally, they've never shown any interest in eating it, but I guess it depends on whether you've got a dog that is overly inquisitive in this way ... Ours DO certainly eat somethings that they are not supposed to sometimes! .. Like the occational raw potato and one once ate a whole bar of green and blacks cooking chocolate .. and a bar on Bornville! but thankfully to no ill effect 😬🙏. There are many things in the garden that are poisonous to dogs.. like daffodiles even, largely we try to keep a reasonable eye on them most of the time... I understand that live stock may be a little more likely to browse, especially if their prefered food become more scarce ... Of course it doesn't have to be Cherry Laurel you use, any evergreen shrub can work well too - Pittosporum's do a great just too, Holly, Eleagnus ... 💚✌️🌿
