What are the garden uses for Laurus nobilis angustifolia in NZ?

Laurus nobilis angustifolia is a much-loved shrub in NZ gardens. It is most commonly grown as a specimen, used as a hedge (both trimmed and untrimmed), added to a mixed planting, or planted as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is an excellent complement to a modern or cottage garden, bringing both formality and elegance to a space.

Laurus nobilis angustifolia care

Caring for Laurus nobilis angustifolia is simply about getting a few easy things right so the plant thrives. They prefer a sheltered spot in either full sun or part shade. A well-drained and fertile soil is crucial for success. Adding organic matter, such as compost, to the soil during planting will help improve soil fertility. They prefer a moist soil, so consistent watering is essential, especially during dry periods. However, be careful to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Applying tree fertiliser in spring will keep the plants well-fed for the year. Any trimming should be undertaken in autumn or early spring, primarily for shaping the tree. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. The Plant Company recommends staking trees to provide them with extra support. Monitor for pests like scale insects and diseases like powdery mildew, and treat as needed with an appropriate agrichemical if you think it is required.
