Devistated

Post by Pup »

I have tried all of the remedies with out success. After 16 years I am gutted. I have lost 5 good trees this season just up and gave it up. I think it might be overspray from neighbours.

So be it I will have to watch.

Don't up set them as they tend to wave the bloody stuff around. I complained as I have a lung problem. Go inside for half an hour was the reply.

Always hard to prove Ken, but he will get his comeuppance as he is a renter. In our complex, one more complaint and he is on his way. So I am waiting my time.

So sorry to read this Pup! That would be devastating.
It's bearable when a tree dies due to something you have done, but at the hands of others... :twisted:
