What to feed my bay tree?

[Waffles]

I have got a nice bay tree with a twisted trunk. Have had it five years and it is a good shape (pruned it severely in the spring) but quite an odd colour. I presume I have to feed it something - but what? I seem to remember reading somewhere eons ago that tomato fertiliser was the thing to use but am not sure if this is correct. It is a sort of light lime green colour at the moment and really want it in good nick for the autumn. Any help please!

I'm watching this with interest, one of my bays looks v poorly. The leaves have gone brown and their is a tiny bug on the back of the leaves. Having done some research I think it could be bay sucker and I've sprayed it with a bug killer but it certainly needs a boost.

Pretty please anyone. My poor bay tree looks so sickly! I need a bay tree doctor!

Well we have a bay (admittedly its not a fancy one like yours though) -its never been fed with anything and is doing brilliantly.

We watered it when we first planted it (its in the soil not a pot) and now it just survives on rain water.

Could it be pot-bound? Getting too much/too little water/light? Sorry, clutching at straws here as I'm not really a gardener

I fed mine some of the bog standard miracle gro all purpose plant food and it did it the world of good
