Bay trees make absolutely fantastic gifts; you can easily shape them, they're straightforward to look after and planting one (or a pair) can instantly help elevate the formality of any garden. Symbolising, amongst other things, both honour and achievement, laurel (bay) wreaths were awarded to champions in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Why not give your recipient that honour, too? Our gifts are wrapped in a lovely hessian sheet, tied with a flourish using a colourful bow, before being placed into our premium packaging and sent out (with a stylish care card thrown in for good measure). This bay tree grows beautifully in sun in a patio pot. To make sure it thrives as much as possible, use a well-drained, loamy compost and water the plant well during hot conditions.
