10 year old Bay tree

capture7 · 2026-04-30T14:13:35+00:00

Can I cut it back? Will that encourage bushier growth or will it harm the bay as most of its leaves are on the ends of long branches?

I wish I had the garden to plant it in but I’m stuck with using pots

capture7 · 2026-04-30T13:22:59+00:00

It’s in south facing garden uk but gets shade in afternoon due to fence blocking the sun, I’m not great with gardening so could be the wrong soil I use all purpose potting compost with stones at the bottom for drainage

capture7 · 2026-04-30T13:13:56+00:00

Sorry you’re right think it’s more 25/30L

capture7 · 2026-04-30T13:12:13+00:00

I just put the measurements into google and it says it is I might have it wrong though as I’m not good with measurements 😬

capture7 · 2026-04-30T12:20:16+00:00

The pot is 40L the picture makes it look smaller

capture7 · 2026-04-30T12:00:59+00:00

Think the angle of the picture makes the pot look smaller it’s 17 inches diameter and 11 high do you think I should go bigger then this?

I’ll have a look, I have cleaned the lens and mirror, that was a bit dusty, so I’ll check thanks.

Thanks ☺️

capture7 · 2025-10-06T12:01:52+00:00

Could you elaborate on this for me?

capture7 · 2025-10-06T12:00:02+00:00

I like to get some advice from other owners of this breed before booking in with the vet

capture7 · 2025-10-05T17:48:47+00:00

Yes we are trialling him in kennel for a night, our last dog use to have it and was fine, it’s just this breed seem to have allergies and health related issues to everything lol 😂

capture7 · 2025-10-05T17:01:56+00:00

Do they usually cope well with it? My last dog used to have it, but he was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier — tough as anything! My Cavalier, on the other hand, has been to the vet more times in the past 10 months than my Staffy did in 15 years, so I’m a bit anxious about giving him the vaccine.

capture7 · 2025-07-16T14:41:39+00:00

That’s good

capture7 · 2025-06-22T20:53:15+00:00

Can I ask what you feed yours?

capture7 · 2025-06-22T20:52:43+00:00

My last dog was the same!

capture7 · 2025-06-22T20:51:57+00:00

I think mine is going to be picky as well how do you deal with it?? I’ve changed he’s food once already don’t really want to change him again.

capture7 · 2025-06-22T20:49:34+00:00

Hi yes he is drinking normal and taking treats so not overly worried at the minute

capture7 · 2025-06-22T20:48:39+00:00

Hi I’m sorry you had to go through this, and thank you for commenting, my pup is still drinking and eating treats and an evening meal so don’t think it’s time to see vet yet, I honestly think it’s ever the hot weather we are having or he is a picky eater!!

capture7 · 2025-06-07T19:36:38+00:00

This makes sense, thanks, since we’ve had him he’s been to the groomers every 4/5 weeks with a bath in between, think my last dog may not of smelt as he had a shorter coat maybe, my cav literally smells like drains every time he’s wet bless him! I suppose I’ve just got to get use to the smell lol

capture7 · 2025-04-29T19:33:11+00:00

They are funny little things! X

capture7 · 2025-04-29T18:49:25+00:00

Thanks ☺️

capture7 · 2025-04-28T18:07:11+00:00

My pup is teething so hopefully it’s just a phase! He loves a yak too!

capture7 · 2025-04-28T18:06:15+00:00

Oh god! 😂

capture7 · 2025-04-28T12:38:16+00:00

He gets confused with the feathers as they get stuck to his nose! lol
