    Hi All,

    I'm looking to add another length of cherry laurel in the front garden, install a tasteful arch up the path, and enclose the currently open side with cherry laurels.

    Had a look the supplier I've used before and am sorely tempted to purchase some rootball laurels - they are cheaper and wider than their pot grown cousins.

    I know that there's a very high success rate with pot grown laurel - I've never had one fail - but what about rootballs?

    Is it a false economy to buy rootballs? Are they more likely to fail than pot grown?

    Ta.:SUNsmile:
