The leaves are used as a flavoring in foods such as stuffings and roast lamb, pork, chicken and turkey. It is native to the Mediterranean and Asia, but is reasonably hardy in cool climates. It can withstand droughts, surviving a severe lack of water for lengthy periods.
Tip #2 - Make a Tree. Rosemary can grow very large for a shrub and many gardeners like to prune them so that they look like small trees. As the plant grows, the shoots off the bottom of the main stem should be removed. As the growth continues the growing tips of the other stems should be snipped off.
