Has your Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum) suddenly developed a bitter, licorice-like taste? This video provides a comprehensive horticultural analysis of "bolting"—the irreversible transition from leaf production to reproductive growth. We explain the chemical metabolic shift behind this flavor deterioration, where the desirable sweet compound Linalool is suppressed in favor of high concentrations of Estragole.
Learn to identify the stressors that trigger bolting, including high heat, water inconsistency, and shortening day length. The most critical intervention is "precision pruning," a technique used to mechanically override the plant's hormonal mechanism of apical dominance, forcing bushy vegetative growth. Finally, if your plant has already bolted, we discuss "culinary triage"—how to use the strongly flavored leaves and edible flowers for pesto, or how to save the plant for seed harvesting and pollinators.
Master the hormonal control of your herbs and keep your basil sweet all season.
