Bay Laurel Tree


About 15 years ago, we planted a Bay Laurel Tree in a pot. We have re potted this tree twice now, each time increasing the size of the pot. We haven't bought bay leaves in all these years because we just go out on the patio and pick our own. The leaves can be used fresh if a very mild flavor is what you want, but mostly I use them after drying. I pick a batch and let them dry until they are very brittle before storing them in a jar. We love them in Navy Bean soup!
