Bay Plant

Laurus nobilis

This Product is Available Now.

Supplied as a pot grown plant grown in a 7cm pot.

We are supplying these as pot grown plants which contain multiple stems in one pot (i.e. multiple plants) which can be teased apart and grown as single plant - and turned into trees should you wish to do so and train accordingly, however this is my no means necessary at all and they will grow happily together in a pot.

The Bay tree can have other uses than just in cooking, the leaf essence is also used in bath water to relieve aching muscles and vets have been known to use it for treated sore udders and pulled muscles! The oil can sometimes be used externally for treating sores. It is also popular for adding to Christmas wreaths with holly but a wreath of just Bay has become a mark of excellence for poets and athletes, to Romans it was a symbol of wisdom and glory!
