When should I prune Etna English Laurel?

Cherry laurel takes pruning well. Trim in late spring after flowering, and again in summer if needed. Hand pruners give a cleaner look than shears, which cut through the large leaves.

Yellowing is usually caused by poorly drained or overwatered soil. Some older leaves also yellow and drop naturally in spring. Plant it in well-drained soil and water deeply rather than often.
