Berrbotanik Landscape Plants

Laurel belongs to Laurales familia. It is an evergreen plant in summer and winter. It grows mainly on the Mediterranean coasts of our country, the Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea coasts and inland parts of these coasts. The laurel, which can grow up to 6-8 meters, develops with round top and dense branches. It has 8-10 cm long oval and hard leaves with a shiny upper face, wavy edges and alternating dark green leaves. When the small yellowish or greenish white flowers that bloom in spring ripen, the color turns into dark purple, single-seeded and fleshy fruits. The body of the plant, which is rounded and purple-brown, becomes woody over time and turns gray in color.
