When you’re ready to plant, dig a hole that’s about three times the width of your plant’s root ball, and place your plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Once established, your Skip Laurel is relatively drought-tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule for the first few growing seasons. Water about once weekly or check the surrounding soil about 2 or 3 inches down. Generally, we recommend letting a garden hose run for about 1 to 3 minutes per week, depending on your soil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.

Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou may want to consider pruning if you're using Skip Laurels as a hedge; left unclipped, you'll get white, candle-like flowers with red berries in autumn and winter.
