Low maintenance and suitable for most climates, seek the Bay Leaf tree within the Patio Orchard Collection at all
good garden centres.
Growing:
In a pot the bay leaf will grow to around 1.5m, but if planted in the yard the tree will grow to a full size of 12m. For convenience, grow in a pot and prune in spring for desired size. Prefers full sun and thrives in most climates, with little to no frost tolerance.
