Hi All,

I have a Bay Tree on which the leaves are turning brown and falling off.
The tree has been very healthy for the last 5 years and this has only
started happening over the last 4 months. I have tried regularly
spraying it with various bug killers but with little or no success. I
have attached some photos and would really appreciate if anyone has any
ideas as to what the problem may be and how to solve it.

Thanks

I have exactly the same problem. I notice that only the new growth is
affected.
I have put it down to frost.

There's not likely to be bugs around this time of year. Too cold.

I would leave the dead stuff for now. Cut off when the danger of frost
has passed, it may offer a little protection against further damage.
