Description
This evergreen tree usually reaches a mature size 30'High x 20'Wide . Bright green evergreen leaves 3-4" long, early settlers used these aromatic leaves as a substitute for the Mediterranean Bay Leaf (Laurus nobilis) in which it is related. It is still used in cooking by many coastal residents for flavoring stews and spaghetti sauce. Redbay (Persea borbonia) differs from the Swamp Redbay (Persea palustris) in that Persea borbonia leaf undersides petioles and twigs do not have brownish hairs. This Persea prefers rich moist sites.
