The glyphosate saga ended well. One of the neighbours asked what I
had done in the garden. I said I had just put down some basic
weedkiller to make a start on tackling the weeds. Another neighbour
said she did not know that had happened to the vegetation in the
garden - it must have been the drought (not noticing that all other
gardens were unaffected).

Thanks for the reminder.

Just had a have a look at the tree that I gave a good dosing of
glyphosate about 8 weeks ago.

All the leaves are drooping and it does not look happy.


My sister-in-law says it needs some rain or watering in to ensure it
gets absorbed by the roots. May be wrong of course.



It got a 20mm hole drilled into the trunk and the glyphosphate poured
into the hole. The rain seems to have done its job.
