Prunus lau. Novita aerial screening

Prunus lau. Novita aerial screening, is sometimes also called Common laurel, it is a large leaved evergreen plant that provides instant privacy in your garden. It is a vigorous growing plant and if allowed to can become very wide spreading and can reach around 5 metres in height.  The leaves are large, leathery and a dark shining green.  Being a large leaved plant, it makes a great screening plant, and it is also a good sound proofing plant as it will trap the noise within the leaves and not reflect much sound back into the surrounding area.  It is also good at trapping dust particles as well making it versatile at improving the conditions around itself.

While Prunus lau. Novita Aerial Screening can be kept closely trimmed it is better if left as a slightly more natural screen with a less formal shape.  If they out grow and get to large for the area they planted in, they are able to be cut very hard back and with feeding and extra water for a few months after the pruning they will regenerate to form a great screen again.

Prunus lau. Novita flower on the previous years growth so if the are being regularly trimmed you are very unlikely to get any of the lovely white candle flowers.  These candle like flowers are followed by berries that start red and fade to black.  If being grown near decorative paving or decking it is advisable to trim the flowers off after they have finished if any are apparent as the fruit can stain flooring if it falls to the floor in the autumn.  Another reason for trimming the flowers off is that the old flower heads and fruit heads can look untidy
