Re: tree and fence

I think you both should just agree to trim the tree,it is a lot cheaper and better than a law suit with your neighbor. But, his fence being too high is not an excuse for your tree being to long. If you complain to the city, they may make him remove his fence, but they would tell you to trim your tree as well. Good luck.
