Everleaf Emerald Tower Basil is a beautiful herb that is known for its striking appearance and delicious flavor. This basil variety has a sweet, slightly spicy taste that is similar to traditional Genovese basil. It is commonly used in Italian cuisine, particularly in pesto sauces and other herb-heavy dishes. Named for its unique growth habit which features tall, upright stems, the leaves of the plant are a vibrant shade of green and have a glossy, slightly ruffled texture.
