A smaller compact form of bay tree, still to 7m but easier to site in an urban garden. Edible leaves for cooking with, abundant flowers for looking at, glossy leaves all year round. It's skinnier than the species form which is perfect for hedging, especially in narrow spaces - or impressive topiary like the disc by Brian Snelson.
