I just want to be sure which type of laurel it is, as it might be


usable for food. I think its Laurus nobilis. The blackish fruit are


half an inch across.

I don't. I think that, if you cut into them, they will have a stone.

It's Prunus laurocerasus. You probably won't kill yourself if you

use it in the quantities most people use bay leaves in, but it's

certainly a possibility.

Ooh. Thank you
