Create stunning formal shapes which are ideal for entryways and patios with wilko Pair of Standard Bay Trees. Easy to care for - this multipurpose plant can be both planted in the ground or presented in a pot! These bay trees enjoy moistly, but well-drained soil, positioned in full sun or partial shade. Supplied as a pair of standard bay trees 70-80cm tall (from the base of the pot), with a shaped head. Planting Advice: Bay trees will grow in any well-drained soil in a sunny position, and thrive in containers, as long as they are kept well-watered. Use soil-based compost, such as John Innes No 2, with extra grit added to improve stability of the post and help drainage as bay roots dislike sitting wet. Add controlled-release fertiliser granules to the pot or use a liquid feed every two weeks from mid-spring to late summer. Check plants and repot every two years in spring so that the soil does not become exhausted and stale. Bay can withstand temperatures down to -5°
