Bay tree dying - Newt?

Posted: 08/06/2013 at 21:04

sounds bad for the bay. newts eat slugs, they're on your side. Just looking for a damp place to hide between meals.

Bays don't need ericaceous compost and a sick plant doesn't need a lot of feeding. They take a bit of a bashing some winters and it's not too late for recovery. Are you getting any new growth at all?

i'd put it somewhere out of any extreme weather - hot sun, heavy rain, strong wind. Don't let it dry out but it won't want to be wet. speak to it kindly and see what happens

i've found hostas move very well if you do it as SSue suggests.

i'd remove any plants I wanted to keep then get out the glyphosate. Iwould carefully quarantine the rescued plants in pots before I put them back in the garden

What's the weather like in your area?

Peterborough, 12C, cloud, northeasterly breeze, Been garden visiting and am frozen. Doing another 2 tomorrow and the forecast is no better

You'll need something strong for them to grap hold of, though you could tie the first ones to the fence and the rest will hang on to that. Whatever you do needs to be strong, there'll be a lot of weight there when it gets established

Where is this summer people keep talking about? It's dull here, 13C, brisk northerly breeze. That's not what I call summer

I'm going garden visiting later, better wrap up warm

What sort of fence is it Criss? If there's anything they can wrap their tendrils round they wont need help. You probably didn't need two but they'll be OK
