Product Description

The Laurus Nobilis Laurel Bay ‘Pyramid’ Tree is a timeless choice for adding year-round greenery and structure to outdoor spaces. Grown as an upright evergreen shrub and carefully trained into a pyramid form, it offers a refined look that works equally well flanking doorways, lining pathways, or enhancing patios and balconies in containers.

Its glossy, leathery, dark green leaves are highly aromatic and widely used in cooking, making this bay tree both decorative and practical. Over time, Laurus nobilis can mature into a large shrub or tree if planted in the ground, though it responds well to pruning and shaping, making it easy to manage in a pot. Small pale greenish-yellow flowers appear in spring, followed on female plants by ornamental black berries.

Hardy and adaptable, this bay laurel thrives in a wide range of soil types and aspects, making it a reliable and low-maintenance addition to UK gardens.
