What kind of oil did you put on the leaves?

Where Can I buy bay plants?

Buy a bay tree. it says right on the tag that you can't kill it. That seems to be true.

Bay Laurel Nobilis is the most common type of Bay. They grow in Mediterranean climates. I live in Southern California and have 5 bays that I planted several years ago to use as a nice hedge along my back fence. The leaves are really great for cooking savory dishes. I also have low growing rosemary that I planted in front of the bays. The bays and rosemary both need well draining soil. Water once a week or less when established. We had a tremendous heat wave (115) in July of 2015. Every leaf of the bay was scorched to a pumpkin orange. I picked every leaf off, watered well and they came back. In Southern California there is a native bay. It gets very tall. It can also be used for cooking. Most good garden centers/nursuries should stock bay laurel nobilis. Hope this helps.
