For Madame Benaut

This is my Bay tree Lauris nobilis
Described as slow growing,
This one sure is but has never been shaped.
They can grow to 5-17 metres tall.
Just watch that you don't confuse it with
Cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus)
which is toxic.



Some closer shots of the leaves for you!

Hi there! Thank you so much for posting this. It does look somewhat similar to the tree I have but my tree was absolutely enormous - about 40 feet tall! I think I'll play it safe and just buy my bay leaves.
I have my own blog now so please feel free to visit me. I'd love you to see some of our home too.
