Hi, we moved our established bay free in August 2024 to a new spot in the garden and all looked good. In September of that year the trunk had a split going about half the way up, we covered this by wrapping it with wet hessian and all the leaves turned brown and fell off. There are now a number of suckers and a handful of green leaves on one side of the tree. Is it safe to assume it is dead?

The roots are still alive but you won't have a tree, it will be a bush instead.
Thank you. Can you tell me what i need to do with it now? I do have pictures but do not know how to upload them!

It looks in a bad way, but not dead, I would wait and see. Some watering if we have more really hot dry spells will help.
