I live on a hill. The people who live behind and above me have a "stacked" rock retaining wall made of boulders...each about the size of an ottoman. I have a 3 foot bed planted on MY property that abuts their wall. (I"ll include a picture.) I took out ugly, old oleander bushes and planted Will Fleming Yaupons and Cape Honeysuckle (not the vining type) as well as perr's and annuals. Spent a LOT of money. There is a Chinaberry tree that has volunteered and is growing between the boulders I've noticed him coming on MY property (his only access) with a Roundup squirt bottle. Today I looked and one of the Honeysuckles just below the Chinaberry is dying. I know his poison did it.

I think Roundup does not kill trees anyhow....yes?

I talk to his wife almost daily as we see one another but he seems to be a real "crusty" --ahem!-- "gentleman" and I really don't want to say anything, but.....?

I have tried to dig out the Chinaberry (very bushy...not like a tree, really) with no success....it's a hardy little sucker!!! I will try harder, because I don't want "neighbor" in my gardens with his Roundup again!

What should I do?
