QuestionsBrown leaves bay leaf shrub
Moss Staff asked 15 years ago

I have a six year old potted bay leaf shrub and I have just noticed that most of the leaves (say 90%) are turning brown with a burnt look. Would most appreciate if you could advise me on how to save the plant. I have read that I should cut down to 6 inches from soil but feel this is too drastic. Please advise?
