Laurel comes from the Middle East and spread throughout the Mediterranean a long time ago. It can reach a height of approx. 12 meters and is not resistant to frost. In areas of heavy frost (less than -8) it is best planted in pots. Bay leaves can be harvested throughout the year and due to its versatility this shrub can also be converted into a bonsai with the shape of a sphere, pyramid, etc. Bay leaf were once of great importance in Greek and Roman mythology. A laurel wreath was the prize for merit in sport as well as a symbol for knowledge and fame.
