    If you're talking about Laurus nobilis (Bay Laurel), then you'll need to grow it in a container that you can set outside when the weather is warm, and bring in when the weather is cold (below 50 degrees Fahrenheit). Laurus nobilis does not like cold weather at all and it will die if you forget to protect it from the cold.

    Even if the tree states deer resistant, the rule of thumb is that a deer will probably eat it. The only good way to keep deer out is to put fencing around the shrubs. You can also try boiling sliced hot peppers in water, and spraying the plants when it cools. This is only a temporary fix, though.

    A standard potting soil mix amended with 2 inches or so of compost on top or mixed in will be perfect. I would use a 5 gallon container or larger if you would like to keep this in a container. These will really not be picky with their soil so I wouldn't put too much worry into it as long as you are putting it in a decent potting mix with good compost, and even worm casting if you would like would be perfect.
