I planted a couple of bay trees in my backyard, and every year about this time I cut most of the branches off those two trees to make bay leaf wreaths to share with friends. I’ve been doing this for years, and last year a couple of friends ac- tually paid me to make extra ones for them for gifts to their friends and family. Dr. Bell was right on target three decades ago. I shared a few extra plants with a grower in Wake Forest and with one of our Carr- boro Farmers’ Market growers to encourage production of Carolina Bay. So, hopefully we may begin seeing a new native showing up at harvest time. In the meantime, don’t wait.
