Fruit trees poisoned with weedkiller as neighbours' dispute escalates
Stuff - National: 7-Sept-2022
A dispute about trees growing over a boundary fence suddenly escalated when weedkiller was sprayed across the yard, killing 10 fruit trees.
An Auckland District Court decision ruled in Duanrui Zhou’s favour, after finding it likely that Lesley Maguire sprayed weed killer over the boundary fence, resulting in the death of several trees at a Mt Roskill property.
Maguire has been ordered to pay $2277 to cover the costs of replanting seven peach trees and three guava trees.
