The Hardiest Hedge You Can Grow!

Once established, your evergreen Schipka Cherry Laurel (Skip Laurel) will need no maintenance at all!

This gorgeous, dense evergreen can be trained as a hedge or left unclipped to show off its naturally beautiful shape…

But if you want a fast, dense screen or privacy hedge, then the Skip Laurel is the right choice.

This evergreen is hardy and resistant in every way possible…

- Drought tolerant - no need to water after it's established
- Deer resistant - not many evergreens can say that!
- Tolerant of air pollution - great for cities and urban landscapes
- Adaptable to dry, poor soil - plant it anywhere
- Grows the same in shade or sun - perfect for any spot in your yard

No matter where you plant your Skip Laurel, you'll get dense, glossy evergreen foliage.

The more you plant together, the denser the foliage becomes…

Growing 2 ft. each year, you can grow an impenetrable screen or hedge in no time at all.

Or let the unclipped Skip Laurel grow naturally and get a spring show of gorgeous, white, candle-like flowers with dark berries in autumn and winter.

Whether you need a fast, thick hedge for privacy, wind screening or as barrier for dust and traffic noise…

Or you just want to plant a stunning evergreen, but don't have the time for maintenance...

Note: If your plant arrives with holes or damaged leaves, don’t be alarmed! Laurels do not like being in containers, so it is very common for this cosmetic damage to occur. Once plant your Laurel in the ground, new growth will emerge happy, healthy and hole-free. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us!

The Skip Laurel can do it all. Order yours today!

Estimated Shipping Time: Most orders ship immediately. As noted on the website, some items are seasonal, and may only ship in spring or fall. Once your order is shipped, you'll receive an email with a tracking number.

Very hopeful four these

Early October and arrived in good condition and packaged well. They were all planted within days and according to instructions. Going into winter they looked good and now in February, they still look good. I’m hopeful for to see nice growth in the spring and through summer.

Beautiful Skips

We received our Skip Laurel bushes pretty quickly, and they were in great condition. 4 out of the 9 plants I ordered were missing, but a customer service rep was able to get replacements sent and delivered within two days. The planting process went well, and they've been in the ground for a few weeks now! They seem very happy and are securely established. We're really excited to see them grow and give us some privacy from our neighbour's home next door. The photos make them look really close together, but the holes are spaced about 4ft apart , and about 4 ft from the house. We'll keep them trimmed well to control the size as well. Overall, highly recommend Fast Growing Trees!
