One is in a neighbours' garden, they like it but it has grown enormously since we moved in and blocks our only sea view from our only south-facing window. The others are in a strip of land between our property and another neighbour's garden, and I'm not sure the land actually belongs to them. They make the back of our house really damp and dark, and I don't imagine those neighbours like the trees, but because they are not affecting their house they're not interested in doing anything. But if I sabotaged the trees too obviously the unpleasant husband of the couple might become vindictive and complain. I have already tried killing one of those trees some weeks ago by peeling a strip of bark two or three inches high from the trunk just below our fence and rubbing weedkiller into it, but only half way around as the neighbours might see it. It shows little serious sign of dying.
Would drilling holes into the trunk and filling them with weedkiller help?
Please advise.
