Default cutting back a bay tree

Ah, yes, also trim it during the growing season. I'd leave it a couple
of feet tall at least until it starts growing in the spring. Then you
can cut back as needed for height.

Looks like you'll have lots of bay leaves to give away!

Do you mean BayBerry? If so, yes, but wait until spring. It does well as
a trimmed shrub. Smells good too!



heh... no, this is a Sweet Bay tree, you know, you throw the leaves into
sauces and stock. Yummy.

That is one ugly plant. What can I do to help him?
