Description
The Bayrum Tree, also known as the Bay Rum Tree, is known for its fragrant leaves, which are the source of bay rum, a popular essential oil used in colognes, aftershaves, and medicinal applications. Native to the Caribbean, the tree has glossy, aromatic leaves that release a spicy scent when crushed. The tree produces small, white flowers that develop into dark berries. It is commonly grown for its ornamental and practical uses, especially in tropical and subtropical regions.
The bayrum tree is evergreen and thrives in warm, humid climates. Its oil and leaves are used in traditional medicine for their antibacterial and antifungal properties, and the plant itself adds an attractive, aromatic presence to any garden.
NOTE: The fruits of this tree are toxic and should not be consumed.
