Every baytree still originates from a seed or a cutting.
Plants cultivated from seed have a robust root system and great vitality. They differ greatly qua leaf shape, size and even aroma.

Laurica-plants increases its baytree population by taking cuttings; this guarantees better quality.

Plants cultivated from a cutting grow slower but are much more uniform qua leaf size, shape and aroma. Their less robust root system ensures that the plants flourish better in a pot or barrel; as a result they keep longer. baytrees cultivated from cuttings are also more suitable for being cut and kept in shape. They also winter better in dark rooms without loosing their leaves or discolouring.
