Caring for Your Bay Trees
There are several things you must consider when looking after your bay tree:
- Soil type – Bay Trees need a soil based compost, and we advise to go with John Innes no3 potting compost.
- Location – Bay Trees are best suited to sheltered, sunny spots as they are natively a mediterranean plant.
- Winter Care – During harsh cold winds, it is best to cover the leaves in fleece, to protect them from any damage. And during very cold spells you should cover both the stem, and the leaves.
