What area do you live in, and are the bays native to your area or something you have transplanted or have in the house?
We have several varieties of native ones here. Not sure what fungus you have, but I know the ones here get galls on their leaves and look terrible close up. It’s just the way they are. :)
The smell of the flowers more than makes up for the ugly plants. They’re an understory tree, don’t like to be out in the open where they’re way too exposed.
Fresno.
My tree has never had flowers.
