To maintain a smaller size, regular pruning is recommended. Otherwise, the Bay Leaf Plant can reach up to 23 feet tall if left unpruned, making it a striking landscape feature. We recommend transplanting these plants into larger pots (at least one-gallon depth, ideally two-gallon) within three months of receiving them to ensure healthy growth and robust development. This initial care will set your Laurus Nobilis plants up for long-term success.
