About Prunus laur. Novita Full Standard 12-14cm Girth Root Ball Delivery November Onwards

Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ Full Standard – Bold Evergreen Presence

Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’, commonly known as the Cherry Laurel ‘Novita’, is a vigorous, hardy evergreen valued for its resilience and glossy, year-round foliage. Grown here as a Full Standard with an 12/14 cm girth, it offers a neat, elevated crown and a strong architectural form.

In spring, clusters of fragrant white flowers rise above the foliage, attracting bees and pollinators. These are followed by red fruits that ripen to black, adding seasonal interest and wildlife value. The large, leathery, glossy leaves remain fresh and green throughout the year, providing consistent structure and screening.

More resilient to frost and disease than common Cherry Laurel, ‘Novita’ is a robust choice for both formal and informal planting schemes.

Why Choose Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’?

Evergreen Reliability – Dense, glossy foliage all year round.
Seasonal Interest – White flowers in spring, decorative fruits in summer.
Full Standard Form – Elevated canopy ideal for structure and formality.
Hardy & Robust – More frost- and disease-resistant than standard laurels.

Planting & Care Guide

Position: Sun or partial shade; tolerates exposed sites.

Soil: Fertile, moist, well-drained soil; adaptable to chalk, clay, or loam.

Watering: Regular watering during establishment; drought-tolerant once mature.

Feeding: Mulch in spring to boost growth and conserve moisture.

Pruning: Clip lightly after flowering to maintain shape; responds well to pruning.

Design & Planting Ideas

Plant in rows as avenue trees with year-round presence.

 Use as a specimen in formal lawns or courtyards.
