Looking to buy bay tree plants for your New Zealand garden? Bay trees are a timeless favourite, loved for their fragrant, glossy leaves that bring flavour to kitchens and a touch of the Mediterranean to home landscapes. Whether you’re a gourmet cook wanting to harvest fresh leaves, or a garden enthusiast seeking attractive, evergreen structure, a bay tree is a perfect addition. In New Zealand’s mild climate, bay trees thrive in both pots and the open ground, making them accessible for all gardeners.

Laurus nobilis is a much-loved shrub in NZ gardens. It is most commonly grown as a specimen, used as a hedge (both trimmed and untrimmed), added to a mixed planting, or planted as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is an excellent complement to a modern or cottage garden, bringing both formality and elegance to a space. Bay trees are also popular plants for growing in pots, and their evergreen nature and somewhat slower growth habit make them ideal for pool gardens. Little wonder Laurus nobilis is so popular in NZ gardens!
