Q&A (Questions and Answers)

Have a question about Laurus nobilis? We are here to help.

Is this tree bug-free? I bought one tree in another store and it has lots of scale insects on it.

They can get scale insect from time to time but our plants are free of this pest when we send them out. They are treated with an insecticide at any sign of them which is somewhat rare for this particular species.
