I'm wondering the same thing though mine is planted in the garden -
they're obviously not as hardy as I thought!


* If the roots of your garden-planted one are well established
underground, it will very likely send up strong new shoots from the
base. Don't dig it up yet .

You don't say how old / large the bay is, but if it isn't very old I
would cut my loss and buy a new one, places like Lidl do them a couple
of times a year for a few pounds and they would be far ahead of yours
if and when it starts to regrow.
