Laurus nobilis (Bay Laurel)

Description

Laurus nobilis is an elegant evergreen shrub or small tree valued for its dense, aromatic foliage and classic Mediterranean character. Its glossy, dark green leaves are highly fragrant and have been traditionally used for culinary and ornamental purposes for centuries.
