Bay tree death

United States

hi - my hairdresser and her partner were recently given a bay tree as a wedding present. Sadly they forgot to water it and consequently it looks very poorly. They have been advised that there is no way back and it is dead as all the leaves are dried up. Is this true? Is there any remedy for it or is it only good for cooking now?
Please respond to alison.bearn@talk21.com or alison.bearn@oldham.gov.uk
many thanks
Alison

Hi Alison try scraping a little bit of the bark of with your nail, if the wood underneath the bark is brown it's dead but if the pulp is white and moist doan't give up on it. Best of luck. and welcome to goy.
