When planting a Bay tree (Latin name Laurus nobilis), be aware that without pruning the tree will grow to 12m (40ft) high by 10m (32ft) wide. If left to grow this big, it will also take the lion's share of soil nutrients for several metres around. The Bay tree is however very suited to pruning, and can be kept to any height and width if suitable pruning is carried out.
When purchasing a Bay tree, it is likely to be either around 20cm high (9 ins) or 60 to 80cm (2ft to 2ft 9in) high. The larger the plant, the more expensive it will be. They are most commonly available in autumn / fall or mid-spring. Planting the tree is straight forward, ensure that it is planted to the same depth as the soil mark on the trunk.
