description_en: Genus of 2 species of evergreen shrubs and trees from woodland, scrub, and rocky places in the Azores, the Canary Islands, and the Mediterranean. They are valued for their aromatic, alternate, ovate leaves. Small, greenish yellow male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. In areas with prolonged frosts, grow in a container and move into a cool greenhouse during winter and early spring. In warmer areas, grow as specimen trees, in a woodland garden, against a warm, sunny wall, or as a windbreak. They are effective in a container in a patio, as they tolerate clipping well.
hardiness_en: Frost hardy. Foliage may be damaged by strong, cold winds.

propagation_en: Sow seed in containers in a cold frame in autumn, or take semi-ripe cuttings in summer.
pests_en: Bay sucker, scale insects, tortrix moth caterpillars, powdery mildew, and leaf spot may be troublesome.
