I have a friend with a swimming pool, and her next door neighbour has
planted a row of lime trees allong the South West side of it. They are
now about 15 foot high, well blocking the light and exuding sticky
stuff all over the pool. Anyone any suggestions?

I have suggested inviting him round for a swim when the light is
blocked and it is getting cold, but I think he may be deaf in that
proverbial ear!

Thanks
Janet (who adores the smell of Limes at this time of the year)

Hey maybe you should lobby parliment to have a bill passed to control the
growth of Lime trees, hmm sorry not helpful but just making a point.

Whjy don't you suggest having them pollarded. We have a lime 'alley' about
10ft
high like that. They don't seem to suffer from the stciky problem but you
do
have to prune them at about this time of year.

Pollarded lime trees can certainly look stunning, as anyone who has visited
Chatsworth garden will know!
