The Bay Tree (Laurus nobilis), also known as Sweet Bay or Laurel, is a time-honoured favourite in British gardens. Grown in the UK for hardiness and quality, this evergreen tree features glossy, dark green leaves and a strong upright stem trained into a topiary-style standard. The foliage releases a rich, herbal aroma when gently crushed, making it a wonderful dual-purpose plant equally at home in the kitchen and garden.
Each Bay Tree is grown from nursery stock in nutrient-rich compost and nurtured for healthy, dense growth. The head, typically 25–30cm in diameter, is pruned and shaped to create an elegant lollipop silhouette. The stem is strong and well-established, providing excellent height and balance. This classic form is ideal for creating symmetry in formal garden settings or offering a focal point on patios and terraces.
This Bay Tree Standard stands approximately 90cm tall including the pot, with a crown diameter of 25–30cm. The upright stem supports a well-pruned ball of glossy, aromatic foliage, forming the classic topiary silhouette ideal for formal or contemporary garden styles.
The tree is supplied in a decorative outdoor pot, designed to complement its elegant structure while ensuring stability. The compact footprint makes it perfect for patios, balconies, and flanking entrances, where space may be limited but impact is still desired.
