Hi!
I am the proud keeper of a 5 ft tall sweet bay (laurus nobilis). It
was obtained five years ago at 4 inches tall, and to say it's
prospered is an understatement. The lemon/veneer smell of the leaves
is amazing, but the entire plant is kept in an 18" pot and brought in
over winter.
However, I was upset to notice the bay leaves in the kitchen have a
completely different odor from the tree. The leaves are also a
different shape at the tip, curling inward
hmmm
and making two
half-circles
difficult to imagine a leaf like that.
instead of ending at a sharp tip.
Is this a different
form of bay? Could it be turkish bay?
maybe
