Hello

I've just discovered this newsgroup, and hope some of you will be able to
offer some answers to our prob:

We bought a bay tree a couple of years ago, which sits in a pot outside our
front door. We've been doing all the right things to it, we think:
protecting it from frost, making sure it's not too dry, re-potting when
necessary ...

And then quite suddenly a few weeks ago, all the leaves went grey and dry.
If you rub the tree, the leaves just break off. It looks a sight, I can
tell you.

Hubby has re-potted it, and is making sure it's getting enough water, but
after two weeks it still hasn't improved much.

What has happened to it? Is it beyond redemption? Does anyone have any
ideas as to what we can do to make it better?

TIA

Jo
