Dying Bay Tree
I had this culinary Bay tree for the last 15 years. It is planted in the ground and has grown to about 4 meters high.
I have just noticed that the Bay tree is dead or dying. Suddenely all leaves are turning brown. Is this something to do with the hard winter that we had? can it be saved? Thank you Labied |

You don't say where you live which is *essential* to asking for help and advice on plants and what to plant etc. But for now, do nothing. You bay tree may well resurrect itself. It's worth waiting all of this year and well into next spring. I doubt that you will have to wait that long. It may well lose all of its leaves and resprout, or the entirety of its top growth may die. But, if that happens, it will almost certainly reshoot from its roots, and you will have select one or more shoots to grow, and prune out the rest. But, as Sacha says, the first step is to do nothing. In 1962/3, my mother's bays died and I cut them down. Nothing happened in 1963, but 1964 saw a forest of shoots. Within a few years, there was a thicket. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
