Dead or dying


My 20+ year old bay laurel tree is either dead or dying. I'm sick about it and it's my fault. It died of neglect since I have been so busy with the restaurant. It was nearly 7 feet tall. I noticed the leaves were shriveled up. Like so many things in my life I've had to neglect a lot to make this restaurant work. I'm not sure how I compensate for the things I've left behind in the frantic pace of what I am doing. In the meantime, I cut the tree back and hope it's still alive and will get new leaves. This is what it looks like now. You can see all the detritus on my dining room table in the background. Poor thing.
