Is this a true Laurus Nobilis, Sweet Bay Laurel?

Yep, that's what it is, it has the Latin name and the English one in the tag attached to the plant.I've been using the leaves for cooking for the past several months, and it's absolutely wonderful. Delicious! I can never go back to the crappy store-bought bay leaves. Fresh is so much better. :)

It is true. A native to the Mediterranean region. Likes moist rocky areas. Has small, yellowish flowers and is an extremely popular culinary herb. ('Aurea' has yellow leaves)

Yes. I had been buying fresh leaves at the market until I bought this one. Nothing like going to your backyard and picking your own.

No it is not. It is either half tang, or rat tail. It seems more like rat tail.

Hi! I can tell you it is not certified organic, but I'm an organic grower and I understand our concern; you can check with your licensing/ federal groups and 1) if you sell less than I believe $500/ yr u need not be certified and 2) it is not always possible to find organically grown trees etc, after a period of time your practices will,determine if the fruit is organic. Please check to determine the length of time. As I'm sure you know avocados are not prolific for a number of years; it may be sufficient to overcome the growers lack of organic. I do want to tell you that both the haas and the Fuentes I received were beautiful; better than local nursery trees. Both trees have young fruit on them now. The haas is excellent it has not even really dropped leaves of any significance. The Fuentes ont the other hand does have fruit but has dropped a significant number of leaves to the point that I'm actually concerned and am going to contact the grower. If you find that I am correct and that afire a point with a young tree & ur organic growing habits you can be certified I would highly recommend these trees. Truly wonderful. I'd love to know how you do. If you have further questions I'm more than happy to provide u with any information I can. Farm on and organic is the only way to love the earth. Best to you, Lynda

It's not an evergreen - I'm in zone 7, and the plant is doing well. A beautiful vine -- I had two blossoms this summer!

Hi! No, this is not false advertising. The listed ingredient is "Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate" which is different from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_lauryl_sulfate" and seems to be a point of differentiation for St. Ives. There are some blog posts if you perform a simple Google search which compare the two, but they seemed to be mostly lacking in substantive sources of evidence. I also looked on my university's research network and found very little on Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate. If you'd like to do more research though, here's a link to the EPA's website for information submitted as part of one of their programs: http://www.epa.gov/HPV/pubs/summaries/sdmlaurl/c14936tc.htm

Lavender was pictured, but it is tea tree oil. I believe they have corrected the posting now.

Well, if you're growing it outside then it might be a weed... But it you have it indoors then i shouldn't be a weed. The plant does look a little bit strange when it first pops out of the soil, but within about two weeks you should be able to tell that this a Carolina Reaper. Good luck!

No it is not fsbric. It is hand carved wood. Very beatiful. I have had several comments on mine and love it!

I'm pretty sure it's Maple. But Oak and Maple are generally similar wood styles as far as I am concerned.

No. The best way to describe the scent is a cool breeze. Like an ocean and apple smell. Very fresh. I hope that helps.

If you're talking about brambles--raspberry and blackberry--not domesticated plants, no. I live in Eastern Kentucky, where the brambles threaten to overtake any place they're given space. I thought it might depend on when the plants are sprayed and how old the plants are--new canes versus old. I sprayed the leaves of year-old canes and it did nothing. I did spray some emerging growth this spring where I was spraying for poison ivy, and those plants look pretty darn healthy. The only way we got rid of some of the brambles was to have a yard service come in, cut down the canes and then, in the spring, when the new shoots come up where the old canes were, dig them out. It's hard work...but the only reliable way I've found to get them out completely. this year we bought a weed-eater with a circular blade in hopes of being able to cut back the brambles ourselves. Sorry for the long answer...hope something here was helpful.

Yes, it is loose leaf. Want to warn you, however. It is REALLY sweet. If that suits you, you are in luck. I, however, am not a fan of sweet tea; can't drink it.

Do not know. I purchased my first in March. It seems very healthy. There has been very little growth in the tree,

Yes, it is. I compared it to one I have from a previous purchase from another merchant.

Not that I know of. The package just states that they are Moringa Oleifera. They are the most common and the sturdiest for our climate.

I believe it is. I checked out this colour in store and it is very beautiful and fresh looking.
