Common Name: Bay
The bay tree is a popular evergreen shrub suitable for containers or growing in the ground. Kept neatly clipped, the dark-green foliage can create stunning formal shapes that make an entrance or look perfect on a patio. Bay leaves can be used fresh or dried and are used in cooking to give a fragrant flavour to soups, stews and other dishes.
| Soil: | Well drained |
| Aspect: | Full sun /part shade |
| Max Height: | 1.5m - 7.5m |
| Extra Info: | Bay is slow-growing and, while a plant will eventually become a tree up to 8m tall, it will take many years to do this and can be clipped to keep it at the desired size. Bay trees are traditionally trained and clipped as topiary, and bring a touch of formality to the garden. Bay is a dioecious plant, which means it has male and female flowers on separate plants. Male and female plants are not identified in garden centres, as most gardeners grow them only for their foliage. The flowers are insignificant and the berries are inedible. |
| Type: | Evergreen |
| Toxicity: | No reported toxicity to humans , birds or livestock. Can cause stomach upsets in dogs, cats and horses. |
