I was once told years ago, that the slower the growing the hedge, the better it is in the long run.
I'm afraid I can't give you precise advice on Portugese Laurel.
Not really to the point, but I've just picked up 30 Aucuba Japonica, each a metre high in pots, for €3.00 each. It would make a superb hedge because it'll grow right to the ground and leave no space but, I imagine it would take too long to saisfy most people. Although, I'm not going to use them as a hedge, but as focal points in my garden. _________________ .
