Elder bushes


Posted by Alan Bull , Feb 13,2007,08:34       Forum

Not sure if you can answer this, being on bushes rather than trees. I live in Worcester and someone, who I suspect is on the make, rings and wants to have a go at 2 elder bushes I have. One is about 3 feet away and the other about 1-2 feet away. He says they will damage the house foundations. They have been there since before I bought the house in 1983 and there seems no obvious difficulty. I would be grateful if can comment.
Many thanks
