I have two bay trees I bought as wee little things now one is lord knows how tall maybe 8 feet.
It is more like a bush.
They like a damp soil but will handle dry for awhile.
The are an evergreen and mine has survived weather down into the teens with no ill effect.
I always end up picking and using fresh even though I know they are better dried.
They are a very low moisture leaf and best dried in a dark drawer or just on the counter out of the sun.
This way they wont turn brown and will retain flavor.
In all honesty you could find one at a nursery if you looked around for less than what I could send a cutting to you.
If not you can get them on line if you wish.
If you want if you really need one I can get some rooted in small containers and send them but they are slow growing.
The stuff in the store for spices many times is NOT true bay.
