West Indian Bay Tree: A Caribbean Gem
Introducing the West Indian Bay Tree, or as it’s scientifically known, Pimenta racemosa. This aromatic evergreen tree, hailing from the vibrant regions of the Caribbean and northern South America, is a true gem for any garden.
Standing tall between 4-12 meters, this tree is a sight to behold. Its deep green foliage, white blossoms, and black oval fruits create a visual spectacle that’s sure to turn heads. The tree’s trunk has a unique exfoliating characteristic, adding to its visual charm.
But the West Indian Bay Tree is not just about looks. It’s a sensory delight too. The leaves of this tree are often used to brew aromatic herbal teas, filling your home with a soothing, tropical aroma. The oil extracted from the tree forms the base for the famous bay rum, a testament to its rich, aromatic profile.
The tree is a hardy grower, flourishing in both sunny and shaded locations. It’s a tropical delight that’s found in gardens across the globe. And while it loves the sun, it’s also adaptable, making it a great choice for a variety of garden settings.
Now, you can bring a piece of the Caribbean to your garden. The West Indian Bay Tree is available for purchase at our nursery. Add this tree to your garden and let its beauty and aroma transform your outdoor space into a tropical paradise. ????
Note: To comply with interstate shipping rules, our citrus shipping inventory is kept in a separate greenhouse. Online availability reflects that greenhouse stock. In-store citrus is managed separately and may differ or be limited.
Inventory policy: Online citrus = greenhouse shipping inventory (kept isolated for interstate compliance). In-store citrus availability is separate and changes frequently.
Citrus Shipping Policy: Citrus ships from our isolated greenhouse on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to ensure quick transit and meet agricultural regulations. If your order includes non-citrus trees, they may ship separately and arrive before the citrus.

Carriers and Services
We ship all orders via UPS, offering Standard, Expedited, and Overnight services. Shipping costs and delivery times depend on your location and the selected service.
Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
