Any tips for laurel growth?

[Whatsnormalhere]

I have a row of laurels that are all about 4ft, healthy enough but they just never get amazing growth and I really could do with them getting both taller and bushier. They’re in a bed and get a fair amount of sun. Any tips to get some good growth on them? Mulch? A particular feed?

They might be dwarf laurels - do you have a plant label which names them?

How long have they been in?

They have been in a few years now - probably 3

Best tip I have is to decide that you don’t want laurels at all… then they’ll grow like weeds and you’ll curse them…

The old saying goes the first year they sleep, the second they creep, the third they leap...they may be about to leap.

I wish my bloody laurels would stop growing!

My top tip is to remove them. Bloody awful plants, and once they're established, very difficult to get rid of. Highly toxic berries, and the leaves on clippings emit cyanide!

Oh!! I love them, green all year round
