When to start pruning a Laurel hedge

It’s important to start pruning the laurels a few months after being planted, and particularly those that grow straight and quite narrow as Darragh explains here in this demonstration.

You've no idea how many countless hours I've spent trying to find a tutorial to tell me how to do this. You've made it so simple and easy - thank you so much.

Thanks for that! I’m Irish in Hungary and have just planted loads of laurels like my parents have around their house in Dublin. I was sure how to encourage them to grow as they are very small. Thanks a million 🙏🏻

Some of my cherry laurels have went very thin at the bottoms and leaves are yellow and droopy how do I fix this? Some branches have no leaves left
