PRODUCT MEASUREMENT

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.
