Bay Trees (Laurus Nobilis)

Bay Trees (Laurus Nobilis) are timeless evergreens, valued for their elegant form, aromatic foliage and classical heritage. With their rich green leaves and naturally dense growth habit, they bring structure, refinement and year-round presence to both traditional and contemporary gardens.

Often trained into standards, cones or lollipop forms, Bay Trees create a strong architectural statement while maintaining a soft, balanced silhouette. Their versatility makes them ideal for framing entrances, lining pathways or adding symmetry to patios and courtyards. Planted in pairs, they deliver a particularly formal and impressive effect.

Well-suited to pot planting, Bay Trees thrive in containers, allowing for flexible positioning and design. Their evergreen foliage ensures consistent colour throughout the seasons, while light pruning encourages a neat, compact shape and healthy growth.

Beyond their ornamental value, Laurus Nobilis is also known for its culinary use, with fragrant leaves traditionally used in cooking. This combination of beauty and practicality has made Bay Trees a longstanding favourite in gardens across the UK and the Mediterranean.

At Sutton Manor Nursery, each Bay Tree is carefully selected for its shape, density and overall quality—offering lasting structure and classic appeal to enhance your outdoor space.
