Prunus laurocerasus – ‘Novita’ Cherry laurel (Hedging Plants) 60-80cm Tall
Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ hedge plants in 10 litre pots.
Novita is a tough variety of common Laurel that has a compact growth habit Novita is also resistance to diseases and can cope well with temperature extremes once established.
Like other varieties of Cherry Laurel, Novita has large, glossy green leaves, masses of small white fragrant flowers in upright racemes in spring and small red/black cherry-like fruits in autumn. Although the fruit can be toxic, a hard clip after the flowers finish in spring will prevent the ‘cherries’ from forming. Clipping in this way will also promote dense, fresh new leaf growth for the summer.
Growing at a fast rate of 30-50cm a year once established, the ‘Novita’ laurel can reach a mature height of 6-8m. It is important to note that this size can be easily controlled with clipping and a height of 1m up can be maintained to enable planting in any size garden or space.
Often planted for hedging and screening, Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ will produce a very dense plant and a great barrier.
Laurel can tolerate very hard pruning to control or rejuvenate an overgrown or open plant.
