| | Mother's Herb Garden: Bay Laurel |
 | | Laurel seedlings can be kept for years in a small flower pot and overwintered on a cool window sill, supplying all the fragrant leaves you'll ever require. | | | The trees are generally free of pests and are even said to extend that resistance to nearby plants. | | | However, the tree is slowgrowing and tolerant of heavy pruning, so most cultivated laurels are much smaller. |

| | Rhododendron, Great Laurel, Rose Tree, or Bay - Flowers |
| | The bees which transfer pollen from blossom to blossom while gathering nectar, manufacture honey said to be poisonous. | | | Apparently the ants fear no more evil results from the nectar than the bees themselves ; and were it not for the sticky parts nearest the flowers, on which they crawl to meet their death, the blossom's true benefactors would find little refreshment left. | | | There it produces a tall trunk, and towers among the trees; it spreads its branches far and wide until they interlock and form almost impenetrable thickets locally called " hells; " it glorifies the loneliest mountain road with superb bouquets of its delicate flowers set among dark, glossy foliage scarcely less attractive. |

| | Laurel Tree |
| | We may, perhaps, attribute to the introduction of the Laurel, and the naturally rapid increase in the popularity of its bright foliage, the victory of a more natural and less formal style of gardening over the Dutch taste for mazes, alleys, peacocks, and tea-pots in yew or box. | | | They are "ovate-lanceolate" in outline, are provided with a few scattered teeth along their margins, and (like those of many allied "drupaceous," or "stone-fruit" trees) have from two to four glands on their under surfaces. | | | Its long racemes of small white flowers are produced after the young leaves, during April or May; and the fruit, which is green at first, ripens to a pure black by October. |

| | After talking to a local tree farm expert (Jon Matthews with Shades of Texas), I truly believe this tree can and should be part of our discussions about a tree that can establish quickly, provide ample shade and is adaptable to our soil conditions. | | | I think maybe the reason the Laurel Oak was not always a top recommendation in these parts, is because of its potential loss during very hard freezes when the tree is young. | | | Which means, that it can make an immediate impact "Shade Tree." I've seen many Laurel Oaks lately in the Pasadena area that have been in the ground for less than ten years, but are already more than 40 feet tall. |
