Prunus laurocerasus 'Caucasica', commonly known as the Caucasian Cherry Laurel, is an evergreen shrub or small tree notable for its dense, dark green foliage. It typically grows to a height of 4-6 meters and has a spread of 2-3 meters. This hardy plant is characterized by its glossy, leathery leaves, which provide year-round interest. In spring, it produces small, white, fragrant flowers arranged in upright racemes, followed by small black berries. 'Caucasica' is often used for hedging due to its rapid growth and ability to withstand heavy pruning, as well as its tolerance for various soil types and conditions, including shade and urban environments.
