Growing Tips for Prunus laurocerasus ''Greenfinity''
Plant it in a sunny or semi-shaded location with fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It is best to prune in spring or summer to maintain a neat shape, as this shrub is easy to manage. Regular pruning also encourages a dense and bushy form. It is tolerant of different soil types but will benefit from added organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. Mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, particularly in hotter climates.
