Laurus nobilis - Mini Standard (Pot Size 17cm) Bay tree sold by Boma Garden Centre

This dainty Laurus nobilis ‘Mini Standard’ presents an elegant, sculpted look: about 70 cm total height (including pot), with a stem height of 30 cm and a head diameter of approximately 30 cm. The foliage remains a rich, dark green all year, and the leaves carry a classic bay aroma when brushed or harvested. In spring, this form may discreetly produce small green-yellow flowers followed (on female plants) by glossy black berries — though these are often inconspicuous.Because of its refined size and structure, it’s perfect for container growing beside a door, on a sunny terrace, or at the entrance to a path. The neat “lollipop” form gives architectural interest without dominating. It pairs well with Mediterranean-style companions such as lavender, rosemary, dwarf agapanthus or ornamental grasses. For contrast in shape and texture, you might combine it with grey-leaved santolina or low sedum.
