Ornamental
One of the most important pests affecting ornamental laurels is caused by the jumping plant louseTrioza alacris, which induces the curling and thickening of the edge of the leaves for the development of the insect's nymphs, eventually creating a necrosed gall. The species is also affected by the scale insectCoccus hesperidum.
