    Bay Advice

    Someone has given me a bay tree from a garden centre. It is only in a small pot so `I am just about to pot it up. It has about 8-10 stalks growing out of the soil. Does this mean it is actually 8-10 smalltrees or is Bay a bush plant?

    Not sure if i should bot them up seperatly or as one.

    Thanks

    My guess is that the bay is shooting from the bottom and that you will have lots of lovely healthy bay growth!

    Good luck
    If the river hasn't reached the top of your step, DON'T PANIC!

        they're individual, if you got them from a wyevale gc or similar. I bought one at the weekend. I've separated it into three clumps, so one pot has three twigs, etc. I was lucky, and it didn't take me long to find the pot with the most twigs in it [I lie, it did]
        They all seem to have healthy root growth but separating the roots was a job to not tear them too much.
        I hope these ones will live, because I've killed every other bay I've bought.

            They can be pruned into a bush (obviously when bigger) or will become a tree eventually - however they are slow growing, so you are looking at 10+ years.
