Growing and care tips

Soil: Use well-draining soil in a container with drainage holes or in a suitable outdoor planting site.

Growing location: Bay laurel can grow in a pot or in the garden where the climate is appropriate. Protect young plants from frost and extreme cold.

Pruning: Once established, light pruning can help shape the plant and encourage a fuller appearance.
