    It will look better if you chop only the wood or stems. If you chop the leaves in half,it will look awful.

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Hi, I would like to cut my bay trees down quite a lot but don't know how much to take off , they block the sun in the afternoon ( not that there's any this time of year) but managing them is getting a bit difficult. 

    Kind regards

    That's a great start. I think you could afford to cut more around the tops and the sides, but of course, all in stages.

    Your shrubs are proof that when grown in the ground, Laurus Nobilis do far better and are also much more hardier and happier.
