Product Overview
Hardiness zones 8-11
This is the true 'Laurel' of the ancients, who used its leaves to make crowns for their triumphant heroes. Fragrant yellow flowers in spring are followed by glossy black berries on female plants (if a male is present). A wonderful edible grown for its leathery, glossy-green, aromatic foliage (the bay leaf) and a beautiful upright evergreen shrub/tree reaching 10-30' in the landscape (it can reach 60'!). It is easily pruned for topiary or to keep its size in check; can be overwintered indoors in a large pot. Ours are unsexed seedlings. S/M
