I have new neighbours who had a bonfire right next to my garden, and it has
now damaged my photinia (and other shrubs). What was lovely red new growth
is now brown and crinkly and dead! Should I cut it back to the undamaged
parts? Now?

They've also taken down half the adjoining wall without telling me, leaving
bricks and rubble in my beds and damaging other plants in the process and a
couple of trellises that are now no longer secured. I'm not best pleased
and needed a bit of a rant!

Thanks, Eleni.

Have you tried talking to them? Friendly diplomacy is the best first
option. Like you I'd be wanting a rant. Hope you can get them to see
sense and neighbourliness!
