wilko Bay Tree Standards with Hessian Wrapped Pots 2 Pack

Add nature's touch to your home with our Bay Tree Standards with Hessian Wrapped Pots 2 Pack. Our Bay Leaf tree is easy to grow and can be placed on either side of a door or pathway or in pride of place on the patio. It has lush foliage with a mouth-watering flavour. The leaves are rich in aroma and can be added to marinades or used to add depth to your cooking. This Bay Leaf tree is easy to maintain as it thrives in moist but well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Prune it back in December, January and February to keep it healthy year after year. The leaves have a spicy, peppery, aromatic flavour and are commonly used in curries, soups and stews. They can be used fresh, or harvested and dried in summer. This gives the leaves a more robust flavour before storing them for up to a year. The dried leaves can also be brewed to make a healthy and delicious herbal tea. The wood of the Bay Leaf tree is used to smoke meat, adding a distinct flavour to it. We supply this tall plant in a pair of two in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow. They measure 70-80cm and grow up to 150cm in height and 75cm in width. The plant stays green all year round and flowers in March and April.
