Neighbor doesn’t want us to put fence up

We recently moved into our new home. we spoke with the neighbors about putting a fence in. At that time no issues or concerns were brought up. We started putting up the 6ft vinyl privacy fence and our neighbor and her daughter came out crying. They do not want us to put the fence up as she is concerned it will kill her plants due to the lack of sun. we offered to move her plants for her. There is a fir tree that is shading her plants on our property and we offered to trim it so her plants will have more sun. she wants her the shade for her house and HVAC system. She offered to pay the different for us to put in the 4 ft instead of 6 ft fence as we already bought the 6 ft. We have small children and dogs and like our privacy. Said neighbor likes to talk to us and watch us while we are in the back yard. She is in her 80s and she has lived there her whole life. Her dad built the home and planted the lilac trees she is concerned about. Should we just do the 6ft fence or do the 4ft fence? I do not want to get off on the wrong foot with her but I think she is being unresomible.

Put the 6 foot up
Put the 4 foot up
