I am a pretty experienced gardener but am having nightmares over this.
I am doing a lot of work on the back of the garden which was neglected- and over run with ivy. I sprayed the ivy with a kill-all killer- glyco-what's it- though very lightly as it was almost empty.
Now about 2 weeks later, the eleagnus which is about 12 feet high is showing signs of dying- leaves going brown, droopy, and the ivy is still going strong.
Please tell me that I have not killed the shrub by mistake. Does that weed killer work only on foliage 9 them is taken down to the roots) and is it a coincidence that the eleagnus is looking sick?
We have recently pruned it quite hard and i wonder if that had allowed some virus etc to get into it? I also wonder ( probably not) if my neighbours have poisoned it- we had to remove a tree against theri wall but were allowed to keep the shrub...insurance job) but I think they were not too happy with that!
