Plant list: Hedging plants There are certain trees and shrubs that respond better to clipping into hedges than others. If you are planting a hedge as protection, ensure you choose a tough hedging plant.
	Prunus lusitanica Portugal laurel Shrub Hardy White Dark green 8m x 10m (27ft x 33ft) This dense evergreen has glossy leaves. It is best pruned with secateurs rather than a hedge trimmer to avoid messy, torn foliage. Trim in spring.
