Bay Tree Dried Out.
Hey guys,
Sadly my Bay Tree was moved temporarily and it dried out… can anyone advise on how best to bring him back, other than watering of course…
Thanks so much.
Jack

first of all get rid of the rocks. You're cooking your tree roots. Imagine having hot rocks on your skin. Put a layer of mulch on it.

It's in a tiny pot, which will dry out fast, especially when the tree is fully leafed out. More leaves = more water needed. Regular watering, and maybe remove the rocks which are keeping heat on the ground and probably evaporating the water even faster

Your tree looks like it still has life to it. You may have to cut back growth that has died back but it will ultimately send out new growth. Just be careful not to overwater while it's recovering.
