Cherry Laurel is a small Texas Native tree that makes a great screening plant. It does prefer deep soil, though I've seen them happy and healthy in the Edwards Plateau ecoregion. In some cases they are heavy feeders, so if they start to yellow give them some fertilizer (most commonly deficient in iron).
