The perfect plant for not having to look at your neighbor in a hurry, Bright N Tight Cherry Laurels are our bestselling privacy shrub. They grow quickly once established, and unlike the Red-Tip Photinia, Ligustrums, and Privets we do not sell on principle, they are native, good for wildlife, and will not contract an ugly fungal disease and decline over a period of years. This dwarf cultivar is also the perfect size without requiring maintenance or trimming to keep it from turning into a large tree.
