Send a Bay Tree gift as a symbol of honour and achievement.
Our Bay Trees, known botanically as Laurus nobilis, have been associated with victory and wisdom since ancient times. In classical Greece and Rome, laurel wreaths were placed upon the heads of poets, scholars and leaders as marks of distinction. Today, the Bay tree carries that same sense of accomplishment and respect.
To give a Bay Tree is to recognise effort, celebrate success and plant something enduring in the process.

Bay Trees bring structure, scent and symbolism together in one living gift. Their glossy evergreen leaves offer year round presence, while their aromatic flavour has been valued in kitchens for centuries. For over 20 years, Tree2mydoor has been sending Bay Tree gifts across Great Britain, carefully prepared and gift wrapped to arrive looking like a true present.
Send our Small Bay Tree Gift to someone who loves to cook, host, or simply enjoy a handsome evergreen by the front door. Its plaited stem gives a classic, designed look, and it suits patios, porches and sheltered garden corners.
If you are gifting to a couple, or want a stronger visual impact, choose our Pair of Small Bay Trees. They are especially popular as housewarming and anniversary gifts, placed either side of patio doors or a doorway for a warm, welcoming feel.
For a more sculptural statement, our Twisted Bay Tree Gift offers a distinctive spiral trunk and a lush evergreen crown. It brings character to an entrance, terrace or garden seating area. The leaves can still be picked for recipes, which makes it both beautiful and useful.
Laurus nobilis is generally hardy in the UK. It prefers a bright position with shelter and well drained soil. Bay Trees are commonly grown in large pots, which makes them easy to position and ideal for patios. This is a moderate commitment gift. In warm weather, potted trees need regular watering. In colder spells, the pot and foliage may need a little protection if frost is severe or prolonged.
If you would like reassurance before sending your gift, you can check whether the recipient’s space is bright and sheltered using Google Maps. Enter the delivery postcode to view the property layout and garden position.
Every Bay Tree gift is prepared as a true present. Larger trees are wrapped in natural hessian and finished with our signature Tree2mydoor royal green ribbon. Smaller trees are wrapped in design led paper gift wrap and finished with the same royal green ribbon. Each is hand prepared on the day of dispatch so it arrives thoughtfully wrapped and ready to be received.
Each gift includes our MyTree™ care promise, offering ongoing guidance as the tree settles and grows. Many customers who gift regularly choose our Tree2mydoor Membership, currently £12 per year, with delivery benefits to most GB addresses and reduced costs to more remote areas.
Add a personalised card, choose a delivery day, and we will handle the gift wrapping and careful dispatch. A Bay Tree arrives with presence, purpose and a story that lasts well beyond the day it is given.
Yes, bay leaves are perfectly edible and widely used in Mediterranean and British cuisine. Just pluck a couple from your Bay Tree Gift, rinse, and add to stews, soups, or sauces for a rich, aromatic flavour. Their culinary use, paired with evergreen beauty, makes bay trees an ideal gift for food lovers and home chefs.
Bay trees are hardy and versatile, thriving both in borders and containers. Planted in the ground, they’ll grow steadily and settle well with space and sun. But bay tree gifts also look elegant in pots, especially by doorways or on patios. For those short on garden space, a potted bay adds beauty and structure year round. Browse our Bay Tree Gift range to find the best size and style for their home.
Yes, bay trees are hardy across much of the UK, especially when planted in sunny, sheltered spots with well drained soil. During hard frosts, potted trees should be moved close to a wall or into a greenhouse, and wrapped in fleece. Ground planted bays will benefit from mulching and light wrapping. Young trees may need extra care in extreme cold. With every gift, your recipient can access our MyTree™ care service for seasonal reminders and practical support.
Bay trees can live for several decades, even centuries, with the right care. Their evergreen nature and slow growth make them ideal symbolic gifts of endurance and love. A bay tree gift becomes part of your loved one’s garden story, season after season.
