Why Choose Laurus Bay Trees?

Laurus bay trees are more than just a sophisticated kitchen ingredient. Featuring lush, glossy foliage all year round, these trees add instant structure and greenery to any outdoor space.

They're also perfect for clipping into standards or decorative topiary shapes, adding a touch of formality to pathways and entrances.

Planting and Caring for Bay Trees in NZ

Bay trees from the Laurus genus love well-drained soil and a sunny or partial-shade position. They’re frost-hardy in most New Zealand regions, and with a little shelter from harsh winds, they’ll reward you with dense, aromatic leaves for years to come. For best results, feed with a general-purpose slow-release fertiliser in spring and keep watering during dry spells, especially for young plants and those grown in pots.

Pruning bay trees is simple: trim lightly in late spring to maintain the shape and encourage healthy, bushy growth. Harvest leaves for cooking at any time of the year, and dry or use fresh as needed. Whether you plant your bay tree in the ground or a stylish container, regular picking helps keep the plant compact and productive.

Bay Trees for Every Garden Style

From formal clipped standards to natural hedges, Laurus bay trees adapt beautifully to their surroundings. Create aromatic living screens, frame your entranceways, or enjoy culinary leaves just outside your kitchen door. With our quality range of bay trees for sale NZ, including favourites like Laurus nobilis and unique cultivars such as Laurus Tuscan Tower, you can choose the perfect bay tree for your home and garden.
