Centre Court Cherry Laurel (Prunus caroliniana ‘Centre Court’) is a superior cultivar of the Carolina cherry laurel, featuring a sleek, pyramidal growth habit. It can reach heights of up to 30 feet and widths of 15 feet within 10 to 15 years. This plant is perfect for creating barriers, screens, and hedges in arid, hot climates, as well as for maintaining neatly trimmed plants around your home or garden beds. In the spring, it boasts clusters of aromatic white blooms that make a vivid impression, and its glossy, light green leaves offer a bright, attractive backdrop, avoiding the dark tones seen in some other evergreens.

• Robust selection of the Carolina cherry laurel
• Attractive bright green evergreen foliage
• Fragrant white flowers in late winter and spring
• Easily shaped into hedges and barriers
• Excellent tolerance to heat and drought

For optimal growth, place the Centre Court™ Cherry Laurel in full sun, partial shade, or light full shade, and in garden soil that is well-drained and not prone to waterlogging. It outperforms the European cherry laurel in terms of heat and drought resistance and provides valuable support to native insects and birds with its flowers and fruit. The plant is relatively free from pests and diseases and can be pruned as needed. To keep it flowering consistently, trim it just once a year after it has finished blooming. If you’re seeking a robust, low-maintenance evergreen for tough locations, this variety is an excellent choice.
