Standard bay tree ball
Explanation:
A "standard" is a plant trained to have a single tree-like stem.

e.g. "Standard bays look very attractive in containers especially half-barrels. To form a bay standard, buy a young plant with as straight a stem as possible. As the plant grows, remove all lower side shoots, but keep the top side-shoots."

Explanation:
I believe what is meant is the snowball, as the "kugel" is most definately NOT a common (or even rare) description for this tree. Standard is correct for "Hochstamm", but is usually not indicated, as it is standard (duh).
