Can I transplant small bay tree into larger container late November?

[Does the Cooking]

I have a 12 inch bay tree that has been in a small pot in the garden for the past five years or so - still living so guess it's hardy - Is it to late in the year and too cold to move into bigger pot?

Thanks.

I think it is recommended that transplanting is done in the spring as it's evergreen....might be wrong though

Sorry GL not wanting to tramp on your toes!

But any time of year is good for potting on things especially a shrub or tree!

Put I lemans terms!

Mr tree! are you ready for bed?

Yes I am!

Well here's a nice comfy bed to sleep in, and it as porridge for the morning!

Yes, provided the container is :-
a) put somewhere protected, like an unheated greenhouse
b) not too much bigger than the current one (no plant like to be swamped)

I like the piece of advice that the best time to do something is when you have time to do it. Traditionally evergreens are supposed to be potted on in spring but if you don't have time then or if it's looking good particularly sad at the moment I'd be inclined to pot it on now. My bay tree is just about to take a trip to the garage for winter so I would recommend moving yours somewhere frost free for winter especially if you're going to pot it up.

My bay tree has lived outdoors in a half barrel for the last ten years. I never bring it indoors.
