A skip laurel (also called Schip laurel or Schipka laurel) is a type of evergreen shrub known for its dense, glossy green foliage and fast growth. It’s really popular because it’s tough, looks good all year, and can handle a range of conditions.
 
Appearance: Shiny, dark green leaves year-round; can produce small white flowers in spring.
Size: Typically grows 6 to 10 feet tall (can be pruned shorter) and 3 to 5 feet wide.
Growth rate: Fast-growing — great for forming privacy hedges quickly.
Light needs: Tolerates full sun to deep shade, which makes it super versatile.
Uses: Mainly planted as privacy screens, hedges, or windbreaks.
Care: Fairly low maintenance — just needs occasional pruning to keep it neat.
