Alex....what in the world have we started? This tree is in a pot, always has been, always outside, and in the winter it can get down to minus 15C, and I have had it for about six years, and it does drop the occasional leaf, but is still going strong. When I do a green chile stew, a bay leaf always goes in as well.(to try and keep this OT) So, try and get a California bay laurel, and if it will grow in CA and BC it should grow in Floreeda!
