Basil 'Emerald Towers', also known as Everleaf Emerald Towers (Ocimum basilicum), is a premium Genovese-type variety prized for its striking columnar habit. This upright, well-branched plant grows 24–36 inches tall and 8–12 inches wide, featuring glossy, dark emerald-green leaves with short internodes. Unlike standard basils, it flowers 10–12 weeks later, providing an extended harvest season without frequent pinching. Its tidy, towering form makes it ideal for containers, small gardens, hydroponics, or in-ground planting, combining ornamental appeal with high leaf production.
This variety delivers the classic sweet, peppery Genovese flavor, perfect for fresh culinary uses. It shines in Caprese salads, tomato sauces, pestos, bruschetta, spaghetti, stews, fish dishes, and poultry stuffing. The leaves enhance Mediterranean and global recipes, while the plant's late bolting ensures prolonged fresh harvests. It also offers traditional herbal benefits, such as supporting digestion and adding aromatic fragrance to gardens or arrangements.
