BAY 3/4 SPIRAL STEM 60/65 P 30

Laurus nobilis is an evergreen, aromatic bay laurel valued for its glossy dark green leaves and its ability to be clipped into elegant shapes, such as this spiral form. Small, pale yellow spring flowers may be followed by black berries on female plants. Grow in full sun or light shade in a sheltered spot and in moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Ideal for containers or as a structural focal point, it responds well to regular pruning to maintain a neat outline. Holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
