What would you do with a bay tree that had been allowed to go its own

COuld you turn it into more of a tree than a huge bush,i.e. take off a
lot of the lower branches - thus giving the shrubs underneath a bit mot
chance to spread out.
It should recover......... it might even give it a new lease of life;-)

Could do Jill but then she wouldn't be bale to reach the leaves! Mind
you I've also uncovered three rockeries they didn't know they had, as
they were covered in ivy like humps. One of the rockeries is about 20
foot in length!
