Our bay tree has got lots of brown leaves,I think perhaps it was the bad weather as several others on the allotments are the same.
Myquestion is should I cut back all the branches with brown leaves? Can I cut it right back,will it sprout again ?
Thankyou  :)

It is too early to cut right back. Wait till midsummer to see if it will sprout and then cut back to the last dead part.

I expected to see a tree growing in a sick bay....
With a microholding you always get too much or bugger-all. (I'm fed up calling it an allotment garden - it just encourages the tidy-police).

The simple/complex split is more & more important: Simple fertilisers Poor, complex ones Good. Simple (old) poisons predictable, others (new) the opposite.

There is another bay tree thread you may like to read that too.  There are lots of crossed fingers about the place.
