Just wondering... Many people in here successfully over winter their bay
trees simply leaving them outside - possibly moving the pot to a slightly
more sheltered spot and being vigilant, in terms of temperatures falling
below a certain temperature?

If planted inground they should survive down to minus 12C and especially so
if not wind blown......they survive here (USA) at those temps. without many,
if any, problems...for a number of years I had a potted one which I put
under an unheated polytunnel (6mm poly) during the winter months and that
survived at temps. down to minus 18C.....the pot was sunk into the
ground....H
