Flourishing and healthy.
Beautiful bay tree. Will be looking to it growing.
Don't know much about plants myself, this was a gift for my daughter who seems very pleased with it!
You never quite know the quality of something when ordering online but was really impressed. Looks great - healthy and growing well!
My dad really enjoyed this gift. Arrived in great condition.
Excellent gift, well presented, in good condition. Recipient delighted.
Tree was very good but tin pail shoddy.

This is the sweet bay tree Laurus nobilis which produces savoury leaves for cooking. Bay leaves add a wonderful savoury flavour to soups, stews and meat dishes – put the washed leaves in the dish whole but remove before serving.
Long term these bay trees are best grown outside, young plants are happy indoors for a few weeks but do need to be kept in a bright, cool room away from any heating source.
When looking for a spot outside for your new bay, make sure your plant gets plenty of daylight, you can keep them in a pot or plant out in the ground, they do well in most soils and hardy in all but the coldest of UK winters. If especially cold your plant will benefit in being covered in fleece for short periods or moved to a sheltered location.
Bay trees are quite slow growing but if allowed, will grow to full size trees in about 30 years. To encourage healthy growth, repot your bay tree about once a year in the springtime. To keep their shape, you may also want to give them a haircut at the beginning and end of the growing season.
Problem Solving
Bay trees are very tough trees that require little maintenance. In the spring and summer your plant should begin to put on new leaves, don’t worry if they are a lighter colour than the existing leaves, they will colour up over a few weeks.
New shoots are more tender than established branches and may droop if exposed to hot or cold temperatures, ensure they are fully watered and try to keep in a frost-free temperature until the young leaves have matured and changed colour.
Crisp or brown leaves are the result of under watering, give your plant a good soak and it will start to recover.
