Bay Trees

I have noticed abnormal growth on the edges of some of my bay tree leaves where they have started to curl up on one side and turn yellow. This can indicate the presence of the bay sucker insect.

Bay trees are especially suited to being grown in containers but over time they can become root bound and need re potting.

Having grown a bay tree in a pot for over 5 years, with relative success, I noticed in early spring 2023 that black spots had started to appear on some of the leaves. So, I started looking into the the possible causes and remedies for this. I wanted to restore my bay tree back to full health as quickly as possible!

I have been growing a bay tree in a pot for several years now and I noticed in early spring that, although many of the leaves did appear green and healthy, a significant number were damaged and had started to turn brown. As bay trees are evergreen, this concerned me.
