we have an elder flower tree between us and the neighbours - it is on their land but hangs over quite a lot into our garden.
The problem is it absolutely stinks - sort of like sour sweat it's disgusting and when the windows are open at the front of the house the smell perforates through the house.
My question is, should the tree smell like that or has it got some sort of disease?! We've lived here 3 yrs and I've never noticed it before...
And what can I do to stop the house smelling like it? is there something that would neutralise it - at the moment I have plug in air fresheners going but it makes no difference. Also, what are the rules re chopping it down - can I cut the over hang back, or better still take the whole bloody bush out?!
thanks!
