Some Herbs may be too tall for our standard packaging and will be trimmed to fit. This will not be detrimental to the plant but will mean that these herbs will flower later in the year.
The Blister packs used to protect our beautiful herbs during transit are made from 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled kerbside.
Bay Tree (Laurus nobilis) Herb in 1 Litre Pot
Bay is known by a variety of common names: Sweet Bay, Bay Tree, True Laurel, Grecian Laurel, Laurel Tree, or simply Laurel. Bay is native to the Mediterranean region, and an aromatic evergreen tree or large shrub with green, glossy leaves, often with a wrinkled margin. Creamy-yellow flowers clusters appear in spring, followed by a pair of small green fruits on each leaf stalk.
Bay can vary greatly in size and height, sometimes reaching 10m tall, although they do take well to being clipped to shape, and will be very happy in a container if kept well fed. Preferring light, free-draining soil and a sunny sheltered position, Bay are frost hardy, with young plants needing protection in winter.
Herb Usage
The leaves of the Laurus nobilis are ideal for flavouring marinades, casseroles and stews, the leaves can be used fresh or can be dried. Although the plant is relatively slow growing, no herb garden is complete without a bay tree.
