The preferred position for bay trees is in full sun, protected from winds and extreme cold snaps. They will, however, happily tolerate partial shade. Pruning the tree’s root system every so often is another effective way of controlling the size of mature trees Head size: this indicates the width of the foliage head in cm. A 35-40cm standard bay, then, will have a smaller width of foliage than a 60-65cm standard bay.

Watering: Water regularly with well-drained soil during the growing season. Don't allow roots to stand in water. Less water is required in the winter months, but don't allow the tree to dry out.Plants have to work hard in small gardens, and trees are no exception.
