Laurelia sempervirens seed
LATIN NAME: Laurelia sempervirens
COMMON NAME: Chilean Laurel
The Chilean laurel is a handsome, upright, evergreen tree of the warm forests, and its fine, oval or lance-shaped, aromatic, glossy leaves and its small, inconspicuous, greenish-white flowers, followed by the small, round, dark fruits, have made it a treasured and fine tree of the region. It grows as an upright, evergreen tree, reaching up to thirty metres or more, with the upright, tapering trunk bearing the opposite, oval or lance-shaped, pointed, aromatic, glossy leaves and, through the warm months, the small, inconspicuous, greenish-white flowers, followed by the small, round, dark, single-seeded fruits. It is a species of the flowering tree in the Atherospermataceae family, and it is native to the warm, moist forests of the southern Chile and the neighbouring regions, while it is treasured for its fine, aromatic foliage, and it is known as the Chilean laurel.

It is prized for its fine, aromatic, glossy leaves.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The Chilean laurel has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the chemistry of the natural products and the food science, since the fine, aromatic leaves of the laurel carry a fine, sweet, warming aroma, and researchers have examined the leaves and their fine volatile oils, while the value of the laurel oil has drawn attention in the international food and botanical press as a fine subject of the flavour and the natural-oil science. The plant has also been studied in the botany and the ecology, since it is a native of the warm, moist forests of the southern Chile and the neighbouring regions, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the forest have been examined, while the ecology of the warm forest trees has been of continuing interest, and its fine, glossy, aromatic leaves have been of interest to the botanists. The species has also been studied in the forestry, since its fine, useful, fragrant wood and its fine, aromatic foliage have made it a valued tree of the region, and researchers have examined its growth, its form and its cultivation, while its value as a fine tree has been of continuing interest, and its fine, aromatic form has been of value. For a tree of such fine aroma, the Chilean laurel has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the Chilean laurel is a generous tree of the garden. Its small, inconspicuous, greenish-white flowers feed the many insects, and its small, round, dark fruits feed the birds, while its fine, glossy, aromatic, evergreen crown gives a fine shade and a shelter to the garden.
Its economic value is real. The Chilean laurel is prized for its fine, aromatic foliage and its fine timber, and its value has drawn attention in the international food and botanical press, while its fine, aromatic leaves have been used in the fine cooking and the flavouring of the region, and its fine, glossy, evergreen form in the warm garden. For a grower, the Chilean laurel is a rewarding tree, and for a gardener of the warm, moist places it brings a glossy, aromatic, evergreen tree to the garden. These seeds dislike drying out — sow them as soon as they are ready, at a shallow depth in pots of rich, moist, free-draining soil, keep the pots in a sheltered, half-shaded spot and never let them dry out, and the first leaves will come up steadily.
