Excavation for foundation for a house and a retaining wall has been done as close as 2 metres from my beech trees which are close to my boundary. The trees are 60 feet high at the moment and I have been advised by my neighbours tree surgeon that the height should be reduced to 15 feet. This seems pretty drastic but will allow it if the trees could come down on his house. Could you advise me? The house is below the level of my boundary and the second storey is on a level with me.
Hi Gerry, I grew a Mondia whitei from seed and have a specimen outdoors though it has put on very little growth this year, its second year. I got the seeds from Chiltern seed. I also have a specimen in a sunroom which is west facing and is full of leaves but no flowers at all though I have been feeding it regulary. It is full of greenfly. I don't use pesticides as a rule but have tried almost everything to no avail. I now have the base of the plant indoors but the rest of it outdoors through an open window. This seems to be controlling the greenfly but I am in a quandary. Do I keep trying or give up
