Bay Twisty
Bay Twisty
Laurus nobilis
Standing an impressive 1.2m tall above the pot, these beautifully trained Bay Trees feature an intricate twisted stem, topped with a dense, perfectly shaped ball of glossy evergreen foliage.
With 1m of clear stem, the real beauty is in the detail. The intertwining trunks have been carefully trained over time to create an architectural feature that you simply can't achieve overnight. These aren't your average Bay Trees – they're living sculptures.
Perfect for framing a grand entrance, adding symmetry to a formal garden or bringing a touch of understated luxury to an outdoor entertaining area, these statement trees offer timeless European elegance without being overly fussy.
And while they look like something straight out of an Italian villa, they're surprisingly practical. Bay Laurel is hardy, evergreen and responds beautifully to clipping, so maintaining that perfectly rounded canopy is relatively straightforward.

How to establish your Bay Twisty?
Position: Plant in full sun to partial shade, preferably somewhere sheltered from strong winds. These trees are particularly striking in large decorative pots, positioned on either side of an entrance or as standalone features.
Soil: Use a premium-quality, free-draining potting mix if growing in containers. Bay Laurel dislikes sitting in waterlogged soil.
Watering: Water regularly while establishing. Container-grown trees will require more frequent watering during summer, particularly in exposed positions.

Pruning: Lightly clip the rounded canopy during the growing season to maintain its shape. Remove any unwanted shoots developing along the twisted stems to keep the architectural structure visible.
