Re: Pruning your nieghbors tree
Trees cause more problems than anything else between neighbors. Property owner can prune any portion of neighbor's tree that overhangs his property line. If pruning damages tree, he may be liable-but you've got a lawuit on your hands - properly cheaper and more effective to fix yourself is neighbor won't agree to share cost. Never,Never,Never cut or destroy tree that is or overhangs public way - that is against the law. Good luck.
