Grower Tips:
For mediterranean landscapes. Uniformly crisp chartreuse to gold foliage sets this sweetbay apart from traditional cultivars. It has stronger and more consistant gold color than 'Aurea'. Attractive red pedicles add a subtle touch of color.
Water regularly the first growing season to encourage deep root growth. Once plant is established, needs only occasional watering. Prefers well-drained soils and full sun exposure. Trim in late winter/early spring.
