Laurus nobilis. Bay tree. C17

Bay tree is an evergreen shrub or tree on the lauraceaes family.

It is very well know as its leaves are used for cooking. 

Easy to cultivate, we can plant with universal compost and a good drain system. A specific fertilizer in addition will help the plant to be healthy.

We can prune the tree or bush in spring or summer to maintain a nice shape and to be bushier, also after the winter, as some of the leaves might be burnt because of low temperatures.

Do not overwater, this way we will reduce the risk of that to develop fungi. Also very important to watch, so that are not attacked by any aphids.

Recommended fertilizer: ecological fertilizer for aromatics massó
