DannyS1951 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Does anyone know if you can buy plants of the bay leaf or laural tree in Bangkok. I would love to have one. From Wikipedia it is Laurus nobilis, Lauraceae if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuian Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 There is an Indonesian Variety - Syzygium polyanthum - which of course doesn't have the same taste (aroma) which would probably be much easier to grow. Have someone to bring one or a clipping and try to grow it, never seen one around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Samuian. It looks like a cutting may be the answer but I will try for the real one first before looking for the Indonesian or Indian versions.

sunsamourai Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I kinda doubt laurel would grow here : it's endemic to mediterranean climate, with very dry weather. But if it does, let us know, I love the taste of it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopgirl Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Eric at Dolmai garden in Chiang Mai has one and has had it for 3 years and it is battling - does not like the climate too much...it's hardly grown at all. However, he does have a load of other plants used in cooking that are thriving including curry bushes, cinnamon trees (3 varieties) and a heap of others.

Pond Life Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Dolmai Garden, is that a buisness ? If so where can I find it ? I have a Bay tree (currently a small plant 18") in Pai. I brought it back from UK as a root shoot about 18 months ago. It looks ok, but growing very slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
