Whats wrong with my Bay Tree? Signs of Life curl and brown tips.

It is a great shame Bay Trees are liable to this attack. Mine all get it. I remove all infected leaves and shoots. I imagine Provado spray would keep them down , but removal is all you can do to existing damage and a close watch to remove any future attacks.

The name of this is illness Sphaerotheca pannosa after i don't know the english common name

I remove all the dead leaves & jet spray with washing up liquid (diluted) using wahing up liquid bottle.It seems to work.

I have heard Epsom salts is good for bay trees, but do not know how much to give them, and when, I have a tree in a big pot , and it has started to go yellow,

If you look under the leaf that is curled, you may spot an insect infestation, a white webbing, like the insect cocoon area is in the fold where the leaf curls. As the others suggested, use dishwashing soap (aka washing up liquid) diluted with water, enough to make suds. This should stop the leaf curl bugs from attacking anymore.

good luck
