Description

Prunus laurocerasus 'Novita' has glorious glossy, large evergreen foliage that looks stunning in this pleached form. Scented white flowers in spring followed later on by inedible, dark fruits make this a great choice for year round interest.

Pleached Cherry Laurel is particularly versatile, being a hardy evergreen ideal for most soils except chalky. It is happiest in full sun or partial shade, but it can tolerate shade. Our pleached Cherry Laurel trees have been carefully and expertly trained by leading experts over a number of years to create beautiful screening trees, sometimes known as stilt hedging or hedging in the sky.

Our containerised Pleached trees are available year-round, unlike rootball forms. Please call our Sales and Service team on 01943 660870 to discuss requirements.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
