The Laurus Nobilis, or Bay leaf, is a resilient plant that flourishes in full to partial sunlight and thrives in warm climates. This makes it suitable for a variety of growing conditions. To maintain a compact size, regular pruning is recommended. Without pruning, the Bay leaf plant can reach heights of up to 23 feet when planted in the ground. However, it can be easily kept as a smaller shrub or hedge or grown in a container on your patio or balcony.
