Laurus nobilis, commonly known as the bay laurel or sweet bay, is an aromatic evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. Typically reaching 6 to 12 meters in height, it features glossy, dark green, leathery leaves with a fragrant, spicy aroma. In spring, the tree produces small, yellow-green flowers, which are followed by dark purple berries. Known for its culinary uses, bay leaves are often used to flavor soups, stews, and sauces. The tree thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, is drought-tolerant once established, and is often grown as an ornamental plant or in traditional gardens.
