Variant CT Genolia 3L

Quantity

An exceptional evergreen with a naturally narrow, columnar habit that forms dense screens of glossy dark green leaves, perfect for creating privacy in tight spaces where width is limited. The upright growth distinguishes it from broader spreading laurels, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its sleek silhouette while still providing excellent year round coverage. Fragrant white flower spikes appear in spring, followed by ornamental black berries that attract garden birds. More tolerant of exposed sites and urban pollution than many evergreens, it thrives in sun or shade while resisting wind damage to its sturdy branches. Ideal for formal hedging or as a structural element in contemporary gardens, the vertical form combines beautifully with rounded shrubs or trailing perennials. A superb choice for boundary planting in modern landscapes or urban courtyards where space efficiency and evergreen structure are valued. The combination of neat growth and resilience makes it particularly useful for challenging locations.
