Sorry Randy, I should have explained it better. That was a picture The place I bought it from used for advertizing. I was making a joke that it grew that big in 8 months. I was kinda egging on Brian.
Glad to hear that about Brian, Make the big bucks while you can. Just hope he doesn't work himself to death.

BTW In case ya sort of missing Brian around, he got a really large promotion. His position now will no doubt take all the strength he has left. Hehehehe. I bet he's getting up earlier, working later, and he doesn't get the easy jobs anymore. But he's the man! Now when he does get to still entertain, his job is to get the big bills. Its what happened, you finally get your job in line and perculating like you want it, then they want you to find and train another nub to take your place while trying to straigthen out your new position's problems. They say only the good die young!

Kevin I finally picked up another plant,going to keep it potted so I can bring it in for the winter.
Kevin your friend was right,fresh bay leaves are better. My plant died from the 2014 winter,I still have a large container of leaves.I think I will get another one this year.Good Luck with the garden

Mine came out of the garage window last week. It’s now planted in our flowerbed in the front of the house. Hope it will survive our winters here in a Texas. Fresh bay is the best.
Kev, Keep us updated if those cuttings sprout. B

Morning Kev. Happy to see this post. Isn’t file from thr root. Dried and ground? As in it’s not like plucking a few leaves. You have to get to the root?I really like the fresh bay also. Makes a gumbo with homemade andouille just really tastee! Did I tell ya I got two near dead sassafras? I guess I have something to learn cause everyone thinks I am stupid for wanting 'em. If the fresh bay made such a difference, I gotta think maybe having my own file might be good also.
When I was a kid, old man down the road was where all the file came from. Everyone laughed about his hidden tree he plundered. But everyone still went to him for their file. Bring his a sixpack, bring him a case, bring him money, bring him nothing, he always had your file. He ground it and it was in those 35MM film containers. He's dead now and only the old timers around here remember him, they remember going an stilling under his trees in his yard (Not Sassafras), drinking a beer or just talking. Thats where we all got our file. The way my sassafras is coming back out I can see it as more of a weed. LOL And I have it in a Pot not in the ground just in case.
Why yes it is (good eye). My wife has lots of plants it is just starting to stay warm enough here to move them outside so they are all over the house.Thats a beautiful plant! Yours looks more like a bush, a hedge, there are several species. Like I said above, I'll try and get out and take a picture tomorrow. Mine is over 6 ft and started as a 1 ft bare root. I actually once had the fear of God put into me if I ever when into another nursery....LOL I spent nearly a whole two pay check..... LOL
Oh is that a Maiden Hair fern on the table also?
