Laurus nobilis, commonly known as Miles Choice Bay Tree, is a slow-growing evergreen tree prized for its dark green aromatic foliage and small yellow flowers. Its leaves are highly flavoursome, perfect for culinary use in soups, stews, and other dishes. With its upright growth and dense foliage, it is ideal for topiary, hedging, and screening in gardens.
This hardy, low-maintenance tree thrives in full sun to part shade with well-draining soil. Frost-tolerant and waterwise once established, Miles Choice requires minimal care, with occasional pruning to encourage compact, dense growth. Growing up to 15 metres tall and 3 metres wide, it is a practical and attractive addition for both ornamental and functional garden purposes.
