Mountain Laurel is an evergreen shrub.
It has leathery leaves which are poisonous to livestock.
During the middle of June, the mountain laurel are in full bloom with large clusters of pink or white flowers.
The Mountain Laurel is perhaps the most beautiful of native American shrubs.
Its fragrance and the massed richness of its white and pink blossoms so vividly contrast with the darker colors of the forests and the fields that they have continually attracted the attention of travelers since the earliest days of our colonization.
