Bay Tree Standard – Laurus nobilis

The bay tree is a popular evergreen shrub suitable for containers or growing in the ground. Kept neatly clipped, the dark-green foliage can create stunning formal shapes that make an entrance or look perfect on a patio. Bay leaves can be used fresh or dried and are used in cooking to give a fragrant flavour to soups, stews and other dishes. They also produce small, star-shaped, yellow-green flowers which bloom in spring which develop into dark purple berries in autumn. Standard bay trees have been carefully trained for several years to ensure they have an attractive spherical head, densely filled with dark green foliage.
