Shrub, Tree or Hedge. Spacing bay leaf trees depends entirely on how big you plan to let them get. Within the hardiness zone, bay leaf grows as a small landscape tree between 12 to 15 feet tall, though it can grow up to 35 feet tall. Space bay leaf 15 to 20 feet apart as landscape trees. Bay leaf works well pruned and maintained as a small landscape shrub, requiring a spacing of 7 to 8 feet between plants. You also can grow bay leaf as a hedge or screen by spacing the plants 3 to 4 feet apart.
