Bay bush removal
I moving house and want to take my bay bush with me. Its currently grown extensively and shot up to 10ft in height. However, the bush has spread widthways as well and in the past have cut it back very hard without any issues. Is there any advice on digging it up or is it best to leave it. Ive tried cuttings there are no flowers that I've noticed so any help or advice would be welcome

I'd never plant a bay in the garden again, ours turned into a giant monster then started making a forest around the base plus seedlings popping up constantly round the garden.
It sucked the life out of everything around it and the mess after digging it up was horrendous.
I'd buy one and stick in a pot before it turns into the incredible hulk.
You also can't take a plant out the ground unless you've stated in the terms of the house sale that you're doing so.
I'd agree with the others though - buy a new one and start again
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
