    @CrazyPrawn85 welcome to GC.

    It's fairly easy to identify a bay tree. If you post a couple of pictures of what you think is the bay tree (full shot and then a close-up of the leaves) we should be able to tell you.

    The other way is to take a leaf and crush it in your hand. You should be able to tell from the smell. Bay and laurel are the same family but have distinctly different smells - and you don't want to cook with laurel :nonofinger: :)

    Put the post in the Identification section on here. :dbgrtmb:

    Welcome @andy :thumbsup:

    If you're going to be asking any questions about plants etc. then it helps us a lot if you put into your info, below your avatar, what part of the country you're from. Soil and climate differences can affect our answers. :)

          Gosh I wish! They're a couple of friends my husband met on a recent trip to Africa. Couldn't resist using them as an avatar, as they're so beautiful...

                Hi all,

                I used to be a member of another forum but had not visited for a long while, when I did, I found out it had been taken over by some kind of glossy 'house-and-home-we'll-flog-as-many-products-as-we-can' lifestyle website, so went to Google search and typed 'gardening forum UK'; this was first on the list :-)

                      Hi ArmandII, I'm happy to get the first round.... don't even mind purchasing stuff to support a good site occasionally...

                      [just not so keen on the fake world of hollywood-style marketeers, I'm a little old fashioned like that :-) ]

                          Hi @Sulevia

                          If you're posting any questions it helps us answer them if you can say in which part of the country you are.

                          That's why a lot of us put it in our profile. It will then appear under your avatar. :blue thumb:

                            Hi Shiney,

                            Will do... but only if* you find out from these three little clues (practically giving it away! :-) )

                            I live not far from where time starts,
                            a house among the meadows,
                            and where a world famous band jumped on an eastbound train in 1978!

                            *just kidding, of course, I'll fill up my profile, but I'll give you a chance first..
