Learn About Your New Laurus nobilis 'Baby Bay'

Laurus nobilis 'Baby Bay' is a compact and dwarf cultivar of the classic Bay Tree, specifically bred for its smaller size and suitability for container growing. This evergreen shrub retains all the characteristics of the traditional Bay Tree, including aromatic leaves and an elegant appearance, making it ideal for those with limited space or who desire a manageable herb plant.

Common Name: Baby Bay, Dwarf Bay Tree
Mature Height (meters): Typically reaches around 1-2 meters, significantly smaller than the standard Bay Tree
Mature Width (meters): Approximately 1 meter
Spacing: Plant at least 1 meter apart if planting multiple specimens, to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
Foliage: 'Baby Bay' has glossy, dark green leaves that are highly aromatic when crushed. The leaves are widely used in cooking for their flavor.
Flowering Period: Like its larger counterpart, 'Baby Bay' may produce small, yellow flowers in spring, followed by dark berries. However, the flowers and fruits are often inconspicuous compared to the foliage.
Form/Habit: This dwarf variety has a compact, bushy growth habit, making it ideal for small spaces, container gardening, or as a decorative kitchen herb.
Uses: Perfect for culinary use in kitchens, patios, balconies, or small gardens. It can be easily grown in pots and is ideal for topiary, allowing gardeners to shape it according to their preferences.
Sun: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
Maintenance: Requires minimal maintenance. Regular pruning can help maintain its shape and promote denser foliage.
Water Requirement: Moderate; it’s important to water regularly, especially when grown in containers, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged.
