    Hi everyone,

    I am hoping to get advice about what to do with my Bay Leaf tree which since 3-4 weeks ago started getting brown leaves all over the tree. One of our neighbours said it's because of the cold spell we had then. It is a well-established tree, maybe 2 storeys high and there are still some leaves that are green. Is it still salvagable or is it finished? If it is salvagable, should we prune off the branches of dead leaves or what should we do with it??
    Advice is much appreciated. Thanks.

    They regenerate well after cold damage, unless the damage was very severe. Prune off anything that's still obviously dead in a couple of months from now.
