A bay standard makes an elegant centrepiece for a formal garden or potager and a pair of bay standards are often used, in smart pots or planters, to frame an entrance or doorway. Bay pyramids are ideal for punctuating a contemporary formal planting scheme. Bay balls are also great for flanking a set of steps, a path or doorway. Other popular shapes include the plaited stem standard bay and the corkscrew stem standard bay.
Bay trees flower from March to May and have clusters of greenish-yellow flowers. The female bay plants have black autumn berries. Although frost hardy, bays may need protection in colder areas in the winter. They can be susceptible to wind scorch and will thrive in a sheltered position.
Bays have lustrous, glossy, dark green leaved which are retained by the plant all year round. Clippings of aromatic leaves from bay trees are frequently used, either dried in bouquet garni or fresh, for flavouring stocks and sauces.

Bay Care: Keep your bay well-watered during the growing season and feed with a slow-release fertiliser. Established plants should be lightly clipped one or twice during the summer months to retain a balanced shape with secateurs (not shears).
