Scorched laurel

[Sams321]

Hi there,

During the period in the UK where we had super hot weather for long periods, a few of the outdoor plants got their leaves scorched by the sun. The laurel got hit pretty bad. Just wondering the best course of action to take? (Should I break off all the scorched leaves?)
Thanks in advance (pic attached),
Sam

Unless you are going to agrresively cut it back/down to start fresh / aesthetics, I'd leave and wait for them to drop naturally.

It'll take back any chlorophyll/nutrients/stuff that's valuable to it from the damaged leaves and drop them when it's ready.
