Laurus nobilis f. angustifolia



8th April 2007


A varrow leaved form of the species. This one grows close to the house and is very similar to the typical plant, the leaves are slightly narrower than usual but it is not very distinctive.

In 2012 I bought this improved version for £12. It has very narrow slightly greyish green leaves with a crinkled and toothed margin. It is growing in a thin, fastigiate form because the lower branches are browsed off by deer. As it grows bigger I hope it will get beyond their reach.
