Hi I planted about 50 Bay Laurel Plants (Laurus nobilis) about 4 to 5 feet tall from a nursery and the problem started with just one plant with its leaves curling and turning yellow then brown on the top of the plant… and then spreading to nearly all leaves.

Now about 10% of them have the same problem and spreading ... no solution yet.

One chat board suggested the Bays were in the pots too long and became pot bound. So now replanting with a good compost soil mix to see if that will solve the problem.

Another chat board suggested they were over watered….

I also have a female dog ... and maybe it going to the toilet might be causing it ...

I really would appreciate any advice / tips

Many thanks

How often are you watering and how much at a time? It looks more like underwatering than anything else to me.

I agree with plantfreak78. At some point they went too dry and they're showing the results now. I'd prune off all the brown leaved stems to where it becomes green and it'll resprout. You can re-shape it later when it fills out.
