When last we left our handsome bay laurel, it looked roughly like this.
Stately and elegant. What's not immediately obvious in this photo, though, is that the nursery stake is still in place. I was later curious how long it was intended to be left on, and the internet told me that it should actually be removed immediately after planting.
So off it comes.
Oh, hm. That's not ideal.
The good news is that the roots are plenty strong enough to keep the trunk upright. Well, the base of the trunk, that is. It's just the top half that seems to have interesting ideas about what growing upright it supposed to look like.
Time to add a proper stake, I guess.
This should hopefully only need to stay staked for a year. Hopefully. I guess we'll see how things look next xmas.
