Topiary Bay Trees Full Standard - Laurus Nobilis - are more commonly known as the lollipop bay tree.
Familiarly, the bay tree leaves can be used in cooking - these aromatic ancient trees lend themselves to topiary and can be pruned into a variety of shapes.
The standard ball shaped topiary bay is perhaps the best known shape - elegantly used in containers and in formal garden settings. These trees have glossy, evergreen, scented leaves with small yellow flowers in late Spring early Summer, this hardy shrub is a very popular favourite in topiary tree design.
Bay tree topiary can take many shapes and forms including the half standard bay and the column and ball shaped bay trees.
