Hi was wondering if someone could help with a problem we have with laurels. We planted them earlier in the year & I think neighbor has been poisoning them. We have since put a fence up, but was wondering if there’s anything we can do? As I think he’s quite vindictive & even though he’s lost his view I think he’ll still do things to them

Thanks in advance

could be the suns burned em during the hot summer we've had.. then theres always the odd one that doesn't take...

 

I'd hold off the neighbor until you get some evidence..

Yep. I would have thought that if the neighbour had given them a drop of ointment the leaves would be still green but hanging down lifeless until they then turned brown and fell. That the green leaves are still looking healthy does suggest that the brown section is just lack of water or just not taking to being planted. 

Cut out the brown section and go with what's left.

And cut out those leaders too: it'll prompt the rest of the plant to bush out and produce much more abundant growth which will then all grow up together.

Have you put a fence in front of old one.
