Craig I have 2 bay trees, they are slow growing, they are in sorry soil and in partial shade.
They have been through frost and freeze with no harm.
The best I have read is they will and can stand around 15-10 degrees before death or at least freeze back.
It is best to let them grow in a bush form as this seems to protect them from cold weather more so than a skinny tree form.
I really like them and I get all of our bay leaf needs from these two trees.
I’m going to plant more in a nice sunny spot with good soil and see what they will do.
The zone maps are not a good source for climate info these days, especially where I live.
How cold does it get there now?
