Default Planting Cherry Laurel

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for some guidance please.

I'm having an extension built on my bunglaow - and the JCB's have totally
obliterated the garden - they were needed for digging the foundation
trenches so there was not much I could do.

I'm looking to buy a couple of mature Cherry Laurel - by mature I mean 3
meters high by 1.5 metres wide. The plants will be 'rootballed', I assume
this means delivered in a pot?

When is the best time to plant the Laurels and what should I looking to do -
eg. depth of hole, fertiliser etc?

Thanks,
Chris
