PLANT PROFILE

Laurus nobilis Bay Leaf Standards, known as Bay Leaf Standards, is an elegant evergreen tree that brings a polished and timeless look to any garden or outdoor space. Growing to about 2–4 meters tall, its neatly trimmed canopy and upright trunk create a striking focal point. The glossy, dark green aromatic leaves not only look excellent but also offer fresh bay leaves for cooking, adding practical charm to your landscape.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Bay Leaf Standards are perfect for framing entrances, enhancing pathways, or standing tall in pots and garden beds. They’re low maintenance, drought tolerant once established, and respond beautifully to occasional pruning—making them a reliable and sophisticated choice that effortlessly uplifts your outdoor areas with year-round style and subtle fragrance.
