The severe frost must have damaged it April. Ask in the garden centre, they are always helpful, ask Adrian, there's nothing he doesn't know about every tree and plant growing.

It'll be fine, just pull off all the dead and dead looking leaves and new growth will soon start.

If you need a 3rd opinion try the other Gerry ------ Gerry Daly will be in the Salesians on April 10th, they are trying to raise more funding for the ACRE project. You'll definitely need your sat nav for that venue.

If all the leaves are affected you have the option of cutting it back to about six inches or so and it will sprout plenty of new growth. Don't be tempted to over feed or over water it or it might end up worse.

I'm sure today's snow is not helping it.

You'd want a fleece on more than your bay tree this weather!

Don't you have google? I'd say it's a bay laurel.
