Redbay (Persea borbonia) is a medium sized tree of the deep coastal plain woodlands. Redbay is a member of the Laurel family, one of the more primitive angiosperms families.
It lives where water is plentiful but quickly drains away. The combination of wet but well-drained soils needed for best growth limits where redbay is found. Because redbay seed will germinate in more mucky, swampy, and poorly drained conditions, redbay can be found growing on stressful sites. Lack of water or lack of drainage conspire to generate tree stress which limits growth, constrains defenses, and results in a number of pests being more effective. This publication highlights major pests of redbay, both traditional and dangerous new arrivals.
