This is a perfect timing video, I was just at a nursery and wondering if the bay laurel was the same as the spice we use. I will now go back and purchase one. Thank you Angela!
Love the idea if the laurel leaf wreath!! So cool. I have a potted indoor plant for the last 2 years from a small plant (im zone 3) and it is SUCH a slow grower lol.
Just subscribed because your videos are concise and thorough. Yours is a valuable asset to my growing aspirations in Gold Canyon. By the way, thank you for speaking CLEARLY and ENUNCIATING your words!
I had no idea we could grow this plant in AZ. I adore this spice. Do you sell these cuttings locally?? I would love to pick one up and give it a go this year.🎉❤
I have had a difficult time with Bay, scale insects appear out of nowhere and keeping them alive over winter even under a good grow light is a challenge.
Same problem for me. Northern VA ZONE 7A so I can’t plant them in the ground or leave the pots out dec-feb. scale shows up and I use need oil, but the bush dies anyway. Trying one more time this summer, hopefully third time is a charm.
@@joshuaquenemoen3857 I tried insecticidal soap but it takes several applications so using preditory insects is the best option since I have citrus too.
Perfect timing! I've been meaning to get one of these. That's interesting about drying them first! I was kinda hoping it'd be like an herb where I could just go pick a leaf off whenever I needed it. Is there a reason you dry them?
For the last three years I’ve tried to get a bay laurel to grow taking them in during winter where I use grow lights for 6 hours or so. Every time they do ok until spring and then they die. I’ve been trying to find a robust bush to transplant but can’t find any over a foot tall.
Thank you so much for this info. I had one a few years ago, (in Scottsdale) and I made the mistake of not putting it in the ground, it lasted for about 5 years. I've been unable to find a reliable source for a new one since. Can you recommend a local place to buy a plant or get a cutting?
Hey, lovely informative video. I just have one question still unanswered. Can i force branching on the plant? Mine is small, but its still a single stick. Can i force branching to make it bush up a little bit?
Can I grow it in pot? I am from karachi pakistan. We have no winters. If yes, what is the minimum size of the pot inches (height and widht)? We dont have a ground, I have to put the pot on the rooftop

Perfect timing. I asked a friend for some cuttings from his very mature tree. Thanks 👍🏽
Great timing for this video! I have two that need to be potted up. Thanks for the information. 🌱 ❤
I couldn’t keep mine alive last year but you certainly inspired me to try again!
I need to find one I use a lot of bay leaves in my cooking... Thanks for the information

Sorry to hear that. Indoor gardening can be challenging for sure.

Drying can reduce bitterness.

That's frustrating.

Check A&P Nursery I saw some there.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Thanks Angela!
Do you do consulting? I'd love to get your opinion on my new garden.
Limited yes. You can contact me for more details.
I live in zone 8A North Carolina. I'm hoping it will grow here.
Baby it the first few winters, and hopefully it will be fine once it gets established.
what hormone would you recommend for food crops? how many weeks for roots to form?
This is the one I use: amzn.to/3WgREYD
Hey, lovely informative video. I just have one question still unanswered. Can i force branching on the plant? Mine is small, but its still a single stick. Can i force branching to make it bush up a little bit?
Absolutely.
@@GrowingInTheGarden how? How can I force branching?
whats the best time of year to prune a bay leaf ?
Early spring
Angela where can I find a cutting? I’m from phoenix!
Check A&P Nursery or Arizona Worm Farm
Thank you! 🙏
Can I grow it in pot? I am from karachi pakistan. We have no winters. If yes, what is the minimum size of the pot inches (height and widht)? We dont have a ground, I have to put the pot on the rooftop
Yes - 10 gallons would be best.
angela I live in Chandler, do you sell any plants, I would love to buy few from you for my kichen garden
No, sorry. Check A&P Nursery and Arizona Worm Farm for starts.
Can we grow it from seeds? Do they produce seeds?
Some types produce seeds - I've never tried it. I didn't see anything about growing it from seed in any of the research I've done.
Where do you find a bay laurel in AZ?
You can check A&P Nursery
If you live in California its better and easier to plant our native California Bay. Thanks.
Anywhere local selling this plant?
Check with A&P Nursery
I am in Glendale and love to see your nice videos. We would like to visit your garden. Pl inform your location and contact number.
Hi - I'm not offering public tours at the moment, but thanks for asking.
Thank you! Great explanation. I have a bay laurel that I'd like to propagate and share with my friends. Thanks again.
Do you sell and ship to AL if you dont mind?
