Commonly Asked Questions
How far apart do I plant Bay Trees for a screening hedge? A little under a meter apart would be ideal for Baby Bay trees. Consider a meter apart if you are planting regular bay trees.
Are Bay trees fast growing? Baby Bay have a medium growth rate. Baby Bay / Dwarf Bay typically grow a little faster than regular bay trees, making them an ideal choice for hedging and topiaries.
Are Bay trees edible? Bay trees are valued for their culinary use—specifically, their aromatic leaves are commonly used in cooking. They can also be cultivated as ornamental plants due to their evergreen nature, glossy leaves, and the ability to be pruned into various shapes, such as topiaries or hedges.
How do I reduce flowers on my bay trees for pool side planting? Prune your bay trees in late spring to remove flower buds and keep them neat. Avoid high-phosphorus fertilisers, as they encourage flowering.
