Laurel plant: characteristics and curiosities
It is a plant that grows in bushes 1 to 3 meters high and has many branches. The leaves are like pointed spears, leathery in texture but flexible and shiny. Its fruits are globular, small and black. It grows particularly in warm, semi-dry, dry and temperate climates from 10 to 2900 meters above sea level.
