Prunus Laur. "Novita"

Prunus laurocerasus 'Novita' is a modern improvement on the classic cherry laurel, known for its exceptional hardiness, fast growth, and high resistance to diseases like shot hole. With its large, shiny dark green leaves and bushy, upright form, ‘Novita’ creates an impressive, low-maintenance hedge or screen in a short amount of time.

It typically grows to 3–4 meters in height and 2–3 meters in width, making it perfect for:

• Tall, dense privacy hedges

• Noise and wind barriers

• Evergreen structure in landscaping

In spring, ‘Novita’ produces white, upright flower clusters, followed by small black berries in autumn, which are attractive to birds. Its foliage remains vibrant even in cold winters, unlike some older varieties that may suffer leaf damage.

Key Benefits:

• Faster growing than traditional cherry laurels

• Extremely hardy – tolerates cold, frost, and pollution

• Excellent disease resistance, especially against shot hole

• Thrives in sun or shade, including dry and poor soils

• Responds well to pruning for shaping or height control

‘Novita’ is a top-tier choice for anyone needing a tough, attractive evergreen for dense screening with minimal fuss — ideal for both urban and rural gardens.
