Portuguese Laurel Root Ball

I am wanting to buy an established hedge @ around 6ft as I really don't want a fence but need a screen as we back onto a school. Any recommendations on stockist of root ball at a fair price?

I bought these bare roots from this seller.

i wouldn’t buy 6’ plants but that up to you.

Is that mainly because they won't thicken well? I would prefer to buy small and train myself although my partner wants an instant hedge 😔

I bought mine from the company that I said in my post, but through eBay as they give a bigger donation to my chosen charity..

if you want a thick hedge right doen to the base, short ones are best and keep picking the middles out to promote side growth.

6’ plants will give you height, but not thickness. I wouldn’t, it’s up to you.
