If you are referring to Laurus nobilis, they are commonly grown all over
southern California (zones 9 and 10) and as farth north as the Puget Sound
area (zone 8).

Yes, and it's a lot more fun groing one than paying $7 for a
small jar of leaves. Not to mention that some spice brands
sell you California bay, a different plant with inferior
flavor.

i think you can buy them in 2" pots, so a low cost experiment if you
choose to try. they get BIG, slowly.
