Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

Sicilian Sunshine® Bay Laurel. This is by far the most showy cultivar of this species that one can imagine. When grown in full sun, its leaves are brilliant gold as well as having bright orange red stems. It is not as fast growing as the species, but this is made up from its outstanding ornamental value. Give it good drainage and in colder areas give it some protection from cold northwest winds. Its foliage is of a deeper gold color than the old gold-leaf cultivar 'Aurea.' Its ultimate size is thought to be 8-10 ft. Bay Laurels make outstanding container specimens, but when grown this way, one should give it some protection when temperatures drop below 20°F.
