Prunus Laur. "Genolia"

Prunus laurocerasus 'Genolia' is a narrow, upright cultivar of cherry laurel, specially bred in Switzerland for hedging in limited spaces and harsh climates. It features elongated, glossy dark green leaves and maintains a tight, vertical form that’s perfect for modern, low-footprint hedges.

Typically growing to 3–4 meters high and just 60–80 cm wide, 'Genolia' forms a tall, dense screen without the need for frequent pruning. Its columnar habit makes it suitable for:

• Privacy hedges in narrow garden beds

• Urban or roadside plantings

• Formal borders and compact landscapes

In spring, 'Genolia' produces white flower spikes, followed by black berries that are attractive to birds (not for human consumption). Its evergreen foliage offers year-round coverage, while its resistance to wind, frost, and pollution makes it very durable.

Key Benefits:

• Space-saving: perfect for narrow hedges

• Low maintenance: minimal pruning required

• Hardy: excellent tolerance to cold, wind, and urban stress

• Elegant appearance: upright, glossy, and tidy look

Prunus 'Genolia' is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a modern, fast-growing privacy hedge with clean lines and low maintenance needs.
