Prunus laurocerasus Novita Standard 30 Litre Pot 8/10 Girth

Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ Standard

Robust and handsome, Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ is a tough, evergreen cherry laurel, here trained as a standard tree with a clear stem and a rounded head of glossy, leathery leaves. More resilient than the common cherry laurel, ‘Novita’ is valued for its vigour, cold-hardiness, and resistance to leaf spot.

In spring, upright clusters of fragrant white flowers appear, followed by small red to black berries, loved by birds. Its evergreen canopy provides year-round privacy, structure, and colour, making it perfect for patios, entrances, or formal planting schemes. Hardy and low-maintenance, it responds well to clipping and shaping.

Growing conditions:

• Position: Full sun to partial shade

• Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained soil

• Aspect: Hardy throughout the UK; wind and cold-tolerant

• Care: Prune lightly in summer to maintain rounded head; water until established

Key features:

• Evergreen with large, glossy green leaves

• Upright clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring

• Berries in summer and autumn for wildlife

• Standard form with clear stem and rounded canopy

• Height & Spread (at maturity): 3–4 m tall, 2–3 m wide (kept compact by pruning)
