In smaller gardens bay is often left to get too large and can become problematic, especially near a property. However its attractive foliage, which is also strongly scented make this a good garden plant, but it often needs managing, either as specimen of as a shaped evergreen hedge.
Cultivation tips: The bay Laurel is tough fast growing evergreen tree that will tolerate a wide range of soil types, prefering a location in full sun but will tolerate part shade. Bay Laurel can be trimmed and shaped and is often seen in formal and herb gardens where it is confined with annual shaping; it is also often grown in large pots as a specimen.
