Volcano Cherry Laurel Topiary: Sculpted Evergreen Style

Add a formal focal point to your garden with Volcano Cherry Laurel Topiary (Prunus laurocerasus 'JONG1'). Offered in a single-ball form, this foliage plant combines glossy evergreen leaves with bronze-red new growth that matures to green. Its shaped silhouette provides a distinctive accent for entryways, patios, and landscape beds.

Picture its rounded canopy framing a sunny doorway or bringing a crisp shape to a relaxed perennial border. The contrast between fresh reddish growth and mature green foliage adds interest beyond the topiary's silhouette.

Why Choose Volcano Topiary?

• Colorful new growth: Young bronze-red leaves mature to glossy green.
• Single-ball presentation: A sculpted focal point for formal garden designs.
• Evergreen foliage: Provides leafy structure through the seasons in suitable conditions.
• Flexible placement: Enjoy in a landscape bed or a roomy, well-drained patio container.

Growing Zones & Space Requirements

• USDA hardiness zones: 6–9, following Monrovia's cultivar rating.
• Natural mature size: Approximately 4–7 feet tall and 4–5 feet wide when grown as a shrub. A topiary's maintained height and canopy size depend on its training and regular pruning; these are not measurements of the delivered plant.
• Light: Full sun to partial sun. More shade can be beneficial in warmer climates.
• Soil: Fertile, organically rich, moist, well-drained soil.
• Water: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season. Once established, reduce frequency and check moisture; Monrovia recommends watering when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.

Your Plant Size

Available in a 2 Gallon nursery container. Gallon size describes the container, not guaranteed overall height, trunk height, or canopy diameter. Allow room for ongoing growth and shaping.

Topiary & Seasonal Care

Maintain the single-ball silhouette with periodic shaping rather than expecting it to remain sculpted without pruning. Monrovia recommends pruning after flowering to shape. Monitor new growth and preserve the intended outline as the plant develops.

For containers, use a generously sized pot with drainage holes and check moisture more often than for an in-ground plant. Container roots may need additional winter protection in colder areas. Protect the plant from severe exposure, and remember that a hardiness rating does not guarantee damage-free foliage in every winter.

Plant safety: Cherry laurel contains toxic compounds, especially in its leaves and seeds. Do not eat any part of this ornamental plant or use its leaves as culinary bay leaves. Keep away from children and animals that may chew plants, and dispose of prunings safely.
