SKIP LAUREL
SPECIAL PRICE: $25 (or 5 for $100)
Bushes now average 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall - photo taken mid-November 2025
Skip Laurel grows very quickly, usually 2 or more feet per year. It matures into a very large, thick & tall evergreen hedge. The dense foliage has glossy green leaves and fragrant white flower clusters in spring. Skip Laurel is deer resistant; and, when established, it is drought tolerant - providing privacy year-round. Prunus laurocerasus 'Schipkaensis' USDA Zones 6 – 9
$10 NATIVE INCENSE CEDAR grows about 2 feet per year in the Pacific Northwest when established, then is drought tolerant. It will slowly mature up to 40 feet tall, but only 8-10 feet wide, especially useful in smaller areas. The long-lived tree is deer resistant and grows in full sun or part shade. Incense Cedars are a symbol of beauty, blessings, and strength. A row makes a superb sweet-scented windbreak or tall privacy screen. Calocedrus decurrens USDA Zones 5–8 Plants now about 1 foot tall planted in 1 gallon pots (9 available) Photo taken in summer 2025
