The Bay Rum Tree (Pimenta racemosa), native to the Caribbean, is a tropical evergreen that grows 25-40 feet high with aromatic leaves used for traditional bay rum cologne. It thrives in full sun, moist, well-drained, acidic soil, and is hardy in USDA Zones 10a-12. The tree features peeling bark, dense green foliage, and white flowers, making it an excellent, low-maintenance ornamental or privacy screen.
