Bay tree drying urgent hell

Tim1

Hi since the hot weather my bay has really dried up. Its been watered regulaly but still has curled leaves.

the tree was transplanted from a border into a pot in feb 2013 and i wondered if that had anything to do with it.

 Water it well.  Whan it was put in a pot, no doubt the roots were cut.

Tim just remember too that the top growth needs to have adequate nutrition and water  from the roots and in a pot access to water is restricted right away. Athough bay likes the sun it may just be in too sunny a spot just now for it to get enough moisture for that foliage no matter how often you water, so it could be worth moving it so that it gets a  little shade during the hottest part of the day. I had the same problem recently with a ligularia. It's in a big pot and kept well watered but the large top growth was struggling to get enough moisture during this heatwave even though it likes sun. Moved it to a better spot and it's totally happy.
