How Do I Mulch Skip Cherry Laurel Shrubs?
When mulching your Schip Cherry Laurel, any type of mulch will do, but cypress or hardwood mulch will be of a higher quality and provide better nutrition overall as they break down. Mulching helps to keep weeds away while protecting the root system of the laurel trees. A two to three-inch layer of mulch is sufficient but remember to leave a one-inch gap of space between the mulch and the stem or trunk of the plant to prevent stem rot.
