I have a flourishing bay tree growing in a pot about 19 inches wide and
deep
but the pot fell over and broke. I am now considering planting it in the
garden but am concerned about whether it would survive through winter,
when
it comes. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Dave.



The bay tree in my garden (on the Somerset coast) is 2 years old and now
almost 6ft tall! This may be an illusion - but I'm sure that it even grew a
few inches over the (very mild) winter.

The area around here is peppered with bay's of all shapes, sizes and ages -
some of which have obviously survived a fair few winters with no ill
effects.

Not sure if this helps in any way - I assume that it depends on which part
of the country you live in!
