Prunus plant named 'Chestnut Hill'

摘要

A new and distinct Prunus laurocerasus plant of unknown parentage is provided. The new plant can be readily distinguished from other plants of the species including the 'Otto Luyken' cultivar (non-patented in the United States). A slow to moderate growth habit is displayed to form a compact generally rounded plant with dense foliage. The foliage is dark green in coloration and displays more glossiness on the upper surface than commonly observed for the 'Otto Luyken' cultivar. Superior resistance to Coryneum blight has been observed. The new plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in a hedge, foundation planting, or when grown en masse.
