Hello all. My tree is several years old, in a pot. Despite my neglect, it has survived hot GA summers and frosts in the winter. I can't remember ever cutting it back.
How would you experienced bay tree growers go about cleaning this guy up. The main trunk of it is about 4-5 feet high, with a couple of shorter pieces coming up from the root. It just looks really leggy and rough. Can I safely just whack this tree down to a foot or so (or even more) and count on it restarting itself in the spring?
Do you mean BayBerry? If so, yes, but wait until spring. It does well as a trimmed shrub. Smells good too!
John!

Thanks, good stuff there. I'm keeping this one in a pot just because I don't intend to live here forever and I'd like to take him with me wherever I may go. He and my asparagus fern are the only plants I've had to survive this long in a pot; all the others died due to negligence. (mostly herbs)
"rocket surgery"... heheh
