I have a friend with a mature Bay tree and this has little seedlings all
over the place like weeds.

I didn't know that it set seed in the British Isles! I certainly
have never seen it do so.

Doesn't stop people charging \24330 or more for a Bay tree in a pot - all you
need is to find someone who doesn't live near a walnut tree.

In the case of bay trees, it is the time. Small ones are cheap.

In the case of walnuts, go along to the nearest greengrocer or
supermarket and buy some. Eat most, and plant a few. You don't
have to live near a walnut tree!
