    This started out as a shrub in my garden. Planted by a previous owner. I have pruned it and encouraged it to become a small tree. It's currently about 25 feet high. I wondered if it's a |Bay tree, but do they grow that big?

    Thanks

    Looks like a Bay Tree?, I've seen a couple of huge specimens round here that are 20ft high and have very thick trunks....
