Sick Bay Tree Laurus Nobilis
Hello Everyone,
I hope someone can help me. I have a very sick bay tree. It's proper name is Laurus Nobilis, A Belgian Speciality. We've only had it for about a month and it's 5 years old. It's really not very well now and most of it's leaves have fallen off. It also smells like it's going rotten. I think maybe we have watered it too much. What do you suggest we do to prevent it from dying, or are we too late!? Thanks, Tom |

If it smells rotten, then it probably is. You don't say if it's in the ground or a pot. GENTLY scrape a branch to see if there is any green just under the bark. If so, it's still alive. If in a pot, remove from the pot and remove all the wet soil. Repot in fresh soil in a clean pot. If using the same pot, scrub well with a 10% bleach solution and then rinse well before putting the tree back in. Newt |

Thanks for the advice Newt I will do that. I think the tree is still alive, or atleast it was when I left the office on friday... if it's still alive when I get to work tomorrow I will take it home and try and rescue it. Tom |
