Plant of the Day

Described as “curious, but not ornamental” by Bean’s Trees and Shrubs, the leaves of the Prunus laurocerasus 'Camelliifolia' (English laurel, common laurel, cherry laurel) are the usual size but curled and twisted. This vigorous, upright, evergreen shrub has erected spikes of small, fragrant, white flowers in late spring followed by fruit that changes from green to red and then black, but as you see these are poisonous.
