Prunus laur. Novita 60-80 CM

Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ is a vigorous, evergreen cherry laurel prized for dense, glossy green foliage and reliable screening. It thrives in sun, light shade or full shade and copes with a wide range of garden soils so long as drainage is reasonable. Clusters of small white flowers appear in early summer, adding seasonal interest on established plants. Ideal clipped as a formal hedge or used for yearround architectural structure, an individual plant will typically reach around 34m in height with a spread of about 23m at maturity.

Feeding time: Spring Trimming time: Late spring to early summer (after flowering); a light second trim in late summer if needed

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
