NEWS FROM THE GARDENER'S WORLD
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TREES ARE like children. We find it inconceivable that other people could ever find fault with our own, but are quick to find shortcomings in those belonging to others.
When is a tree a nuisance? What redress do we have when a neighbour seems determined to imprison us, as well as themselves, within walls of hideous Leyland cypress?
Trees do not respect boundaries. I am fortunate in having neighbours who appreciate our big beech trees as much as I do. But what if they didn't?
"Trees in Dispute" is the subject of a new booklet published by the Arboricultural Advisory and Information Service and may save you years of angry snarling over the fence.
It is available (pounds 5 inc p&p) from the AAIS at Alice Holt Lodge, Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey GU10 4LH (01420 22022).
