Prunus Novita

Description

Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ is a variety of laurel selected for its exceptional hardiness. A fast-growing evergreen with leaves very similar to the common laurel but they are slightly more elongated, still glossy, but not quite so much but rich green leaves, ideal for hedging or screening or as a space-filler under trees. Long, upright clusters of scented white flowers open on untrimmed plants in April, followed by glossy black berries. This is a similar hedge to the common laurel but a little gentler and not quite as fast growing, making it easier to maintain but just as good for screening.
