5gal Bay Laurel | Laurus nobilis

Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis) is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree, celebrated for its glossy, aromatic leaves commonly used in culinary dishes like soups and stews. This Mediterranean native features leathery, dark green foliage and can be pruned into hedges, topiaries, or grown as a container specimen. In the ground, it typically reaches 10 to 30 feet tall, but when container-grown, it can be maintained at 4 to 8 feet with regular pruning. Bay Laurel thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate watering; once established, it exhibits notable drought tolerance. Hardy in USDA Zones 8–10, it can be grown indoors in cooler climates, provided it receives ample sunlight. Its slow growth and adaptability make it an excellent choice for both ornamental and edible gardens.
