Prunus laur. Novita Cherry Laurel Full Standard Rootballed 8/10cm Girth

Prunus Novita Standard is a robust evergreen shrub or small tree, widely used in the UK for hedging and screening due to its dense foliage, fast growth, and year-round coverage. It’s a cultivar of the Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus), offering improved resistance to common diseases and environmental stress compared to the standard variety. Whether you need a small hedge for privacy in a suburban garden or a tall screen for a larger rural property, Prunus 'Novita' can be tailored to suit your garden’s needs.

• Year-Round Coverage: Prunus 'Novita' is evergreen, meaning it retains its glossy green leaves throughout the year. This provides constant privacy, making it ideal for hedging and creating windbreaks in the garden.
• Large, Glossy Leaves: Its large, broad leaves are deep green, creating a lush, full appearance. The leaves can grow up to 15 cm (6 inches) long and are shiny, giving the hedge a polished, attractive look in all seasons.
• Rapid Growth: One of the main reasons Prunus 'Novita' is popular for hedging is its fast growth rate. It can grow around 30–60 cm (12–24 inches) per year, quickly forming a dense hedge or screen. This makes it a great choice for gardeners looking for a fast solution to create privacy or block out noise and wind.
• Ideal for Privacy: Prunus 'Novita' is often used for creating tall, dense hedges that offer privacy, sound insulation, and wind protection. The dense foliage forms an effective barrier, making it ideal for screening out unsightly views or creating private garden spaces.

Novita is not fussy about soil types. It will grow well in most well-drained soils, including chalky, clay, or sandy soils, as long as they are not waterlogged. This makes it a highly adaptable plant for different garden conditions. While it prefers moist, well-drained soil, Prunus 'Novita' can tolerate periods of drought once established, which is a useful trait in areas that experience dry summers.
