Spotted Laurel (Aucuba japonica variegata) is a very popular evergreen hedging plant or shrubs with creamy yellow spotted markings on the foliage and has been used since Victorian times for screening and privacy in difficult areas. If left untrimmed to grow as a broad hedge it also deadens noise pollution.
