'Schipkaensis' is a distinct cultivar within the Prunus laurocerasus species, commonly known as Skip Laurel. This evergreen shrub is recognized for its dense and vigorous growth, forming a versatile and attractive hedge.

Its glossy, dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop throughout the year, and it responds well to regular pruning for shaping.
