Super beautiful plants that more than lived up to what was promised on the website—they were both taller and more beautiful. Superb customer service with quick answers to questions. Fast delivery of the plants to Denmark (don't be afraid to make a bank transfer—you won't get scammed here). The plants are growing fantastically
Thanks, Stan

We’re very pleased with this nursery! We received a beautiful proprietary variety: the Laurier ‘Elly’. The plants were of good quality, nice and full, and healthy. You can tell right away that they’re grown with a great deal of expertise and care.
In addition, the service was friendly and professional. Everything was delivered neatly, and they kept their promises. We are very happy with the results in our garden and can definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for high-quality plants and expert advice.

Bay Laurel ‘Novita’
The Laurier ‘Novita’ is known in Latin as Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novtia’ and is known for its large, glossy, green leaves.
“Novita” is a fast-growing plant with a spreading habit. This means you’ll quickly have a dense, wide hedge—perfect if you want to enjoy your privacy right away. This laurel grows about 40–50 cm per year. It’s no wonder, then, that “Novita” is often planted around large commercial buildings where people want to create a green appearance quickly.
If you're looking for a narrower hedge, your best bet is to chooseLaurier ‘Elly’orLaurier ‘Bonaparte’.
The ‘Novita’laurelis often compared to the Laurel ‘Rotundifolia’. This is because the leaves of these laurel varieties look very similar. However, ‘Novita’ is much more tolerant of lower temperatures and is not susceptible to plant diseases. That is why it is also said that the ‘Novita’ laurel is the improved version ofthe ‘Rotundifolia’ laurel.
This hedge plant is also ideal for creating a very tall hedge. In fact, this variety can grow up to 500 cm tall! If you’re looking for a low hedge, various types of yew or thePortuguese laurelare betteroptions.
This laurel species blooms around April or May. At that time, small white flowers appear among the green leaves. These flowers attract butterflies. Afterward, red berries may form on the plant. These berries, in turn, attract birds.
