Super beautiful plants that more than lived up to what was promised on the website—they were both taller and more beautiful. Superb customer service with quick answers to questions. Fast delivery of the plants to Denmark (don't be afraid to make a bank transfer—you won't get scammed here). The plants are growing fantastically
Thanks, Stan

We’re very pleased with this nursery! We received a beautiful proprietary variety: the Laurier ‘Elly’. The plants were of good quality, nice and full, and healthy. You can tell right away that they’re grown with a great deal of expertise and care.

In addition, the service was friendly and professional. Everything was delivered neatly, and they kept their promises. We are very happy with the results in our garden and can definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for high-quality plants and expert advice.

Bay Laurel ‘Etna’

The Laurier ‘Etna’, known in Latin as Prunus lauroceracus ‘Etna’, is a truly special plant! This is because of the new leaves that grow on the ‘Etna’ after pruning. These leaves are a deep red. Over time, they will turn green. The combination of deep red and green leaves is absolutely stunning!

The ‘Etna’ is a bushy plant. This means you’ll quickly have a dense hedge after planting. In addition, the ‘Etna’ is extremely hardy, so you don’t have to worry about it during periods of frost. It’s no wonder, then, that the ‘Etna’ laurel is incredibly popular in Germany.

It’s best to plant theLaurier‘Etna’ in a spot with plenty of shade. This plant doesn’t like being in direct sunlight. It’s also not a good idea to plant the ‘Etna’ in very wet soil, as this can cause the roots to rot.

The ‘Etna’ is a moderate grower and grows about 20 to 40 cm per year. However, it is advisable to prune this plant twice a year, as it tends to become bushy. The best time to prune your laurel hedge is in the spring (March through May) and in the fall (September through November).

Laurier ‘Bonaparte’is also a variety with red shoots. The main difference is that ‘Etna’ grows more slowly and spreads more widely.
