Most of the advice I've seen, so far, has suggested over wintering my
potted bay tree safely indoors - preferably somewhere with a minimum
temperature of 5 degrees.

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?

I have a 10ft tall one that's been here for years and years. It is planted,
so obviously doesn't get moved inside, but it grows like crazy (needs cut
back and shaped every year).
