Plant Description

Laurus nobilis, commonly known as bay laurel or sweet bay, is an aromatic evergreen shrub or small tree with dark green, leathery leaves that are glossy on top and lighter beneath. The leaves are prized for their use as a culinary herb, imparting a unique, savory flavor to dishes. This plant produces clusters of small, pale-yellow flowers in spring, which develop into black-purple berries by autumn. Bay laurel is often grown as a hedge or pruned into decorative shapes due to its dense foliage and adaptability to topiary.
