Thanks for the video. I'm in the UK and have recently bought a young bay tree already pruned to a 'lollipop' shape. I was wondering if there are any ways of telling how old my tree is and also is there a certain age they need to reach before you can cut the leaves for drying and cooking? Any information would help.

Plant in shade or sun?

Is it possible to grow a Bay tree from just a leaf cutting?

So I've got a bay tree in my garden. I've crushed a leaf and it smells right. I've has a mug of hot milk with a leaf in it (a fav of mine) and it tasted right.
Can i be sure that i have the right variety and that it's not going to poison me? -
Awesome

Thanks for the info. There are 2 things that may be worth adding tho:
marjoram and oregano are virtually the same spice.
The tree that is mixed up with laurel is mostly cherry laurel, which is a prunus, and not related to laurel at all.
Avocado and cinnamon are a part of the laurel family tho, among a lot of others.
Laurel is a very old family, which came into existence before the continents were formed, and hence there are so many varieties :o) -
Where's a good place to buy seeds/cuttings of bay leaves? In the US

Informative video. I'm not sure if I know what the bay leaf tastes like but I'm sure I do. I've seen people cook with them before and I've sure I've ate something made with it... I'd be interested to make two pots of the same thing one with the bay leaf one without to see if I can teach myself the flavour. Thanks again.

If you run out of marihuana you can always smoke bay leaves :). They act as a mild sedative and make you feel dizzy

I love Bay leaf and I just found out there were more than one kind. i've been using California Bay leaf. Can't wait till the Laurel Leaf is in season so I can purchase a plant.
