    I've just spent ages looking for the right place to post this query so if I'm in the wrong place, sorry mods... :)


    Anyway, I have a 5 ft + bay tree, grown from one of those supermarkets 99c pots. It must be around 8 or 9 years old now and I might bemoving to Australia from here in the UK and would like to get this tree to a good home in Ireland!

    Can anyone advise on the best way to get it across the water?

    I'm not sure transport-wise, but I do know that you can cut down a bay tree pretty severely, and it will grow back.
    This may help with whatever transport you decide on.

    OMG NO!!! :eek:

    NOT funny! :P


    It is a beautiful globe standard bay tree, as in it is 5 and a half foot lollypop shaped thing I have been tending and trimming since it was a seedling! It's brother (!) was killed by the prolonged sub zero conditions last winter in Drogheda so I thought I would send this one over to replace the dead one. :)
