Indonesian Bay Leaf (forum)

Millmud starts with ...
Does anyone know where I can purchase an Indonesian Bay leaf plant? Other names are Duan Salam, or Salam Leaf. It is used in Indonesian cooking, and is NOT the same as the Bay leaf we know here.
Botanical name is Eugenia or Syzygium Polyanthum.

Indonesian bay leaf is a rather exotic spice and not easily available in the West (only in countries with a high proportion of Indonesians). The leaves may be used fresh or dried; they are common in the cuisines of Sumatra, Jawa and even more Bali. They are applied to meat and, to a lesser extent, vegetables; in order to release their flavour, they must be fried or cooked for a while.
A wealth of different ingredients, cooking methods and flavourings is found in the various cooking traditions of Indonesia. All over the country, the use of lemon grass, greater galanga, fresh ginger, garlic and chiles is common; yet regionally, spice usage may expand this list considerably.
The cuisine of Bali is distinguished from cooking in other parts of Indonesia by a multitude of spices and flavourings not or comparatively rarely found on the other islands.

Furthermore, lemon grass, kaffir lime, pandanus leaves and the Indonesian bay-leaf are used in higher quantities than, for instance, on Jawa; the Balinese long pepper even seems to be unknown in the rest of Indonesia. Another flavouring much liked by the Balinese (and the Jawanese) is trassi (also spelled terasi), a pungent and strong-smelling paste of fermented shrimps; in Bali, it is even employed for fruit salad (rujak, see mango).

Hi Trikus,

I was wondering you and your mate can air layer the tree, it would be fantastic, seeing there's market for it.

Please let me know if you would consider this method of propagating.

Thank you.

The last time I checked with the Border Security Officer at the airport, Daun Salam is illegal to grow in Australia, as it carries a disease which would decimate our Guava crops.

Has this changed in the last three or four years?

That might be Myrtle Rust disease.
I think you may not be able to import any Myrtacea again, but if the plant is already here thats different.
You should check about moving plants from that Family around as it could spread the disease.

Thanks for that. I really didn't think about there being any Salam here in Oz already. And if there is, you are right,
moving them around would be the worst thing.
