Laurus 'Saratoga' (Saratoga Bay Laurel) - An evergreen shrub tree to 25 to 30 feet tall by nearly an equal width. This vigorous plant the attributes of bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) but is a smaller tree with a more open habit and larger more rounded and lighter colored leaves. The oval leaves can be 5 to 6 inches in length and are a mild to olive green color on the upper surface and lighter below with the new growth and leaf petioles tinged red. The small pale yellow flowers are produced in abundance from late winter through early spring and in mass are quite showy. This selection is a male tree and produced no fruit. Plant in full sun, to light shade in a well drained soil and irrigate little to occasionally once established though more frequent irrigation will produce a faster growing more luxurious growth. It is not as hardy as Laurus nobilis but will tolerate short duration temperatures to 18°F (as we experienced in 1990) and is reliably hardy above 20°F. The leaves can be use for their culinary value. Laurus 'Saratoga' makes a great dense hedge or can be trained into a multi low branched or singe stemmed small tree. It can also be used as a large container specimen or even a topiary. The plant was discovered in the 1950's by Frank Serpa in Fremont, California
