Neighbor cut down most of other neighbors tree.

Previous house had a Box Elder tree while in my yard split into two distinct branches probable 14-16 inches in diameter over the neighbor’s and our house.

He asked me if Is gas ok to cut the half over his house. I said “Sure, I wish the wh9le thing was down”. Solution, his father in law. The following weekend it was a pile of firewood. Turns out that was the F-I-L’s previous avocation.

My neighbor has a HUGE Shagbark hickory tree one foot over from my property line but the damn thing drops 80% (or so it seems to me) of it’s huge tough leaves, twigs, branches, pollen strings and the worst of all lime-sized hard ass heavy nuts every July-October

I call it The Tree That Keeps On Giving and would love to have it cut down but due to its sheer size and age which I estimate to be 120-150 years old, that would cost me $10,000 and it’s not even my damn tree!

I’ve hinted to the neighbor about them taking it down some day and got the emphatic “no! We love this tree!”

Of course you love this goddamn tree, you don’t have to do the any of the work, I get stuck with all of that.

I am honestly hoping someday it gets struck by lightning and splits right down the middle.

Any chance of blowing the debris back across the boundary line? They might not like it so much

Sounds like the tree was there long before you moved in next door.

Our neighbors on one side have a big black walnut *just* on their side of the property line. It drops loads of walnuts in our yard every year. It's great.
