Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ Pleached 180cm Stem, 120×120cm Frame
Elegant, evergreen, and strikingly architectural, Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ Pleached brings instant height, structure, and privacy to formal and contemporary gardens alike. Trained on a 120×120cm framework with a 180cm stem, this pleached laurel creates a clean, linear hedge or screen, perfect for dividing spaces, framing terraces, or providing year-round privacy.
‘Novita’ is prized for its glossy, deep green leaves and dense foliage, which remains attractive through winter. Its upright, well-branched habit ensures a uniform, neat appearance, while pleaching transforms the plant into a living wall of elegance and order. Unlike standard laurels, this pleached form adds architectural interest and instant maturity without the need for years of growth.
This variety is hardy and reliable, thriving in a wide range of soils and light conditions, and responds well to regular trimming to maintain shape. Ideal for formal borders, courtyard gardens, or as a stylish screening solution, it combines beauty, structure, and low-maintenance performance in one sophisticated planting.
