I have had a bay tree in a pot for a number of years and to be honest, I hate it. Is it possible to bonsai it? If so does anyone know of any pictures so I can get an idea of what do do with it.

Thanks

Toni

It will probably have rather large leaves Toni. If you remove them, leaving the stalks behind, you will hopefully get a new crop of smaller leaves. The ones removed can be dried and stored for kitchen use. Can we have a look at the shape of the tree sometime?

I will photograph it but it is tall, the leaves are yellowy and have been since we moved two years ago and it is a terribly shabby specimen. Right, where's the camera?
