Re: Devistated
Very sorry to read this, Pup. It does appear the same as a plant that has been killed from glyphosate. I believe it is possible to identify what pesticide killed a specimen and happy to provide more information if you wish to go that route. Councils often use this service when a narrow corridor suddenly appears in the coastal vegetation between luxury houses and the sea in Sydney. I'm sure it's expensive and nothing will bring the trees back but it would send a serious lesson if you hit them up for the price of the tree.

Re: Devistated
Thanks for the offer Joel. I would still have to prove it which is a case of my work against theirs. As I have said they are really on borrowed time as far as looking for another place.Joel wrote:Very sorry to read this, Pup. It does appear the same as a plant that has been killed from glyphosate.

Re: Devistated
In the past as some of you will know I have resorted to treating my trees with a blow torch to stimulate growth, with success.
So after talking with the boss her observation was you have nothing to lose.
So tomorrow it will get the blow torch, lets hope it works will keep you posted.
Cheers Pup
