Apologies if this post is repeated .......... watered well but posts

Hi All.

A friend had a great small bay tree, in a big pot, stands about 5'
tall.

Will it be possible to take a 'cutting' and prepare it with rooting
compound, and pot up etc etc.

Any advice please, where to cut, when to cut, what to pot up in, and
success rate ???

Thanks in advance


Thanks for all the advice Guys ........... I guess that is why Bay is
so bliddy expensive ...........

As for grumbling (a favourite pastime) what about walking to the end
of the garden and shouting loudly for 4 mins ...... any good ??

AAAAAAAAAaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

(practice)

Alternatively, locate a mature tree.
My small collection of bay trees came from a friend's garden.
His mature bay tree was surrounded by hundreds of little seedlings, which
just needed gently uprooting and then potting up.
