GENERAL INFORMATION
- Bay Laurus, also known as, Laurus nobilis is an aromatic evergreen tree or large shrub with green, glabrous (smooth and hairless) leaves, in the flowering plant family Lauraceae.
- It is native to the Mediterranean region and is used like a bay leaf for seasoning in cooking.
- Its common names include Bay Tree (esp. United Kingdom), 84 bay laurel, sweet bay, true laurel, Grecian laurel, or simply laurel.
- Laurus nobilis figures prominently in classical Greco-Roman culture.
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- This tree is not too particular about soil.
- Well-draining soil is important; plant your bay tree at the same depth as it was planted in its original pot.
FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT
- Plants in containers need some supplemental fertilizer.
- Feed container-grown bay in the spring and maybe again mid-summer, with a balanced organic fertilizer like fish emulsion and kelp.
LIGHT REQUIREMENT
- If you grow your bay tree indoors, keep it near a sunny window for the winter.
- Outdoor plants require full sun to partial shade. In areas with hot, dry summers, some afternoon shade is ideal.
WATER REQUIREMENT
- Bay roots are very shallow and frequent watering may be necessary during dry spells.
- Water it regularly but always allows the soil to dry out between waterings, so the roots don’t rot.
