Bay Laurel "Bay Leaf" Plant (Laurus nobilis)

Description: Laurus nobilis, commonly known as Bay Laurel or Bay Leaf, is an evergreen tree or shrub that is native to the Mediterranean region. It is a member of the Lauraceae family and is known for its fragrant leaves, which are used as a culinary herb. The tree is also known as Sweet Bay, True Bay, Grecian Laurel, or simply Bay. The tree can grow up to 50-60 feet tall in the wild, but when cultivated it is more often grown as a small tree or large shrub, reaching up to 20-25 feet tall and wide. It has glossy, dark green leaves and produces small, yellowish-green flowers in the spring which are followed by small, black berries. The leaves are fragrant when crushed and are used in cooking to add a subtle, woodsy flavor to meats, soups, and stews. Bay Laurel thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is hardy in USDA zones 8-10, but can be grown as a container plant in cooler climates. It is drought tolerant and can withstand temperatures as low as 10°F. The tree is sensitive to cold and frost, so it is important to protect it from frost and freezing temperatures. It is also a low maintenance plant, but regular irrigation during dry periods will help to improve growth. Pruning should be done after blooming to encourage bushier growth.
