According to my personal knowall, it gets its feets down faster and puts on
growth more quickly than leylandii in the first 3 or 4 years.


Ive never done leylandii
( do I get a bluepeter badge ? )

Ive done lots of laurel simply by pushing bits into the ground, it
'takes' readily and puts on a little growth, but mostly seems to sit
there for a couple or 3 years thinking ! before it really gets a move
on, could be due to my heavy clay over limestone rocks.

I mesured some growth this morning, 2ft 3in. since I pruned some in
the spring !
