Commonly known as the Bay Tree, this bushy, ornamental Laurus Nobilis has an upright structure with leathery, green leaves that bear a lovely scent. Hints of yellow flowering will also appear in the growing season, alongside the ever-present, hardy lollipop stem. The tree is ideal for patios, driveways, balconies and small gardens.
They are valued for a year-round display of colour, and therefore interest, with initial shades of yellow and green gradually becoming a more prominent green. The trees cycle begins again every Spring.
This Laurus variety is low maintenance due to its hardy and compact structure. To maintain its lovely colour, the branch tips should be pruned back by around 10cm at the end of peak season. This will encourage fresh growth when the cycle restarts.
