The Bay Tree is an upright, hardy evergreen tree with deep green aromatic foliage. Leaves are glossy and oval and hang from red-brown branches. In spring, yellow buds appear, openi ng to clusters of fluffy yellow flowers, adding a lovely contrast to the foliage. The bay tree is very slow growing and will only flower after 10 -30 years, with small black fruits to follow. Native to the Mediterranean, the bay tree is well known for its culinary use - the leaves are added to soups and stews. It is often used for topiary and can be easily shaped into balls, squares and low hedges. Soil: Well-drained soil. Conditions: Full sun to part shade.
