Commonly known as the Bay tree, Laurus nobilis has wonderful aromatic evergreen foliage. The glossy, slender leaves not only look and smell good, they are also great for adding fla vour to foods such as stews and soups. Further interest is provided with clusters of small yellow-green flowers that are popular with bees in spring. These are followed by ornamental black fruits. Excellent for providing evergreen screening or shelter, Bay Laurel can cope with exposed positions if it is not in a northerly climate. This Bay tree benefits from pruning to create fresh growth, but if left unpruned you can expect a height and spread of around 6 x 4 metres in 20 years. Plant in full sun or dappled shade and enjoy the wonderful fragrance when you brush past. Laurus nobilis Bay tree has received the RHS AGM status and Plants For Pollinators label.
