Camphor Laurel

From LoveToKnow Garden

Camphor Laurel (Cinnamomum Camphora) - That this beautiful sub-tropical evergreen tree is hardier than often supposed is proved by Mrs Dugmore, of Parkstone, Dorset, who writes as follows:—"The Camphor Tree flourishes here, and is now a fine shrub about 10 feet high and quite healthy, bearing handsome glossy leaves. It has never been artificially protected, though sheltered by adjacent shrubs, and it has been planted quite 12 or 14 years. The soil is peat with a sub-soil of gravel, the whole well trenched and manured." There is also a fine specimen at Leonards-lee, near Horsham, and probably others in the gardens of Devon and Cornwall.
