Classic Bay Tree Standard - Approx. 90cm Tall
Add a touch of timeless elegance and culinary charm to your garden or patio with our beautiful Bay Tree standard. Standing at approximately 90cm tall with a well-formed head of aromatic foliage (25/30cm diameter), this evergreen Laurel makes a striking focal point. Its classic shape and fragrant leaves bring a Mediterranean feel to any outdoor space and provide a readily available supply of fresh bay leaves for your cooking.
The Bay Tree is a versatile and relatively low-maintenance plant once established. Its glossy, dark green leaves release a wonderful aroma when crushed, making it a sensory delight. Grown as a standard, it offers an attractive formal structure, perfect for flanking doorways, lining pathways, or as a sophisticated container plant. This Bay Tree thrives in a sunny to partially shaded location and can be easily pruned to maintain its elegant shape.
