Prunus l. Novita C45 HS Pleached 110cm stem 120x100

Prunus laurocerasus 'Novita' is a vigorous, evergreen cherry laurel valued for its dense, glossy green foliage and reliable performance in a wide range of conditions. In this pleached form on a 110cm clear stem with a trained 120x100cm framework, it delivers neat, elegant screening above fences or along boundaries while occupying minimal ground space. Tolerant of sun or shade and most soils, it forms a year-round backdrop of foliage; in spring it bears small, white, pleasantly scented flower racemes. Ideal for structured, formal or architectural schemes where robust, evergreen screening is required.

This tree has been trained to grow flat along a frame, creating a neat, structured shape that is ideal for screening or narrow spaces. Where supplied on a clear stem, the tree was grown to this stem height and then pruned to stop the trunk growing taller. The stem height will remain as supplied, with growth continuing from the trained framework above.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
