Default bay tree damage from frost

Anyone else experiencing as lot of frost damage to large bay trees )i.e.
30 foot mature trees)
Any ideas about actions to take? Looks like there just might be some new
growth starting on some branches but generally tree looks very affected
with dark green/brown leaves etc. Not sure what to suggest to the owner as
i don't have any experience of such large trees but looking around the
district there are quite a few full sized bay trees that have been
similarly affected.


Wait and do nothing, chances are nearly all of it will regrow, anything
unsightly can be removed in late summer


And, if it doesn't, cut it down and use it as firewood or for
turning, and it will regrow from the roots.
