I had been looking for a Bay Rum Tree for a while and came across Smarty Plants Nursery .. was a little nervous of how the tree would arrive .. I’m so happy with my little tree. It arrived looking fantastic. I have left in bucket and will allow it exhale after its journey and soon will plant it in the yard .. Looks great and smells fantastic. Brings back great childhood memories. Thank you !

The Bay Rum arrived in perfect condition! Look forward to years of growth. For those interested, you can make a tincture from the leaves to keep mosquitos away. you can also crush leaves for the same reason.
