Laurus Tuscan Tower is an evergreen tree that features lush and glossy, dark green leaves which are aromatic and somewhat leathery in appearance. Flowers produced in spring are pale yellow-green and result in small, glossy, black berries as it grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide. Laurus Tuscan Tower is a great plant for trimming into a hedge, using for screening, planting as a backdrop for smaller plants, maintaining in a container, trimming into a topiary standard, or growing as a specimen. The leaves on this variety are the well-known, Bay Leaves, and can be used fresh or dry in cooking to add flavour to dishes.
