"A familiar scenario and one I've experienced. It's so frustrating when you can see what needs doing right there and you know very well that if the offical people (eventually) do it they'll make a mess of the job you would do properly. "
"I agree. I have seen some very expensive, mature box structures being sold in garden centres but there's no sign of a warning about what a liability it is to have this plant, especially due to the box caterpillar in the south of the country. Can you…"
