Add a stately look to your home with this beautiful Bay Tree. Bay Trees are easy to care for and look simply stunning in pots either side of a door or pathway. The lush foliage has a mouth-watering flavour and rich aroma and can be added to marinades or used to add depth to cooking all year long. Bays can be very expensive in garden centres, so this fantastic offer is unbelievable value! Easy to maintain, this bay tree will enjoy moist, but well-drained soil, positioned in full sun or partial shade. Ensure you prune back in December, January, and February to keep your tree healthy, year after year. Bay leaves have a spicy, peppery, aromatic flavour and are commonly used in curries, soups and stews. Leaves can be used fresh or you can harvest them in summer and dry them. Dried bay leaves have a much more robust flavour but should be stored for no more than a year. Dried bay leaves can also be brewed to make a healthy and delicious herbal tea. The wood of bay trees can also be used to smoke meat, giving it a distinct and delectable flavour. This standard Bay tree reaches a height of 70-80cm (pot included), it's ideal for ground planting or as a patio feature. This adaptable tree thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil, and container planting is easily achieved with a soil-based compost enriched with grit for drainage and stability. Regular feeding with controlled-release or liquid fertiliser from mid-spring to late summer will promote optimal growth. While hardy to -5°C, winter protection with fleece or hessian is advised, particularly for container-grown trees. Enjoy its year-round beauty, including its March to May blooms, and remember to repot every two years to maintain healthy soil. Please note that the tree's height may vary depending on the season; the image shown is a guide only.
