Bay-Rum Tree is an evergreen tree native to the Caribbean region. Mature trees can reach a height of 40 feet. The fruit, bark and leaves produce aromatic essential oils used as a cooking spice and for medicinal purposes. Crushed leaves emit the scent of cloves and cinnamon. White flowers appear from spring through summer followed by black, fleshy fruits that are attractive to birds. Plant in full sun in evenly moist, well-draining soil. (Pot size: 2 gallon)
