My next door neighbour painted our adjoining fence last year with

longer good for anything? Could I have a lilac in a pot so thet she
can do no more harm?

I am really surprised that the fence could be responsible for your
tree loss do you think there could be another reason? Could the soil
have been drenched with something?

Mmm, creosote laced with arsenic? Time for Poirot?
