Goin g the other way - seriously down south here - bay trees grow to a super size despite the really severe winters. because of our micro climate up here on the hill we keep our bay trees in pots and overwinter them under the eaves of the house.

But on the open and very exposed pig farm - which is on a very fertile flood plane - they grow up to 20 feet high and are actually a bit of a bloody nuisance because of their size.

Price wise, they're relatively inexpensive and wouldn't expect to pay more than the equivalent of £3/4 here.
