What should I do ? Neighbor's tree falls into my PROPERTY. . HELP ?

I have no trees in my yard. . But my neighbor has this HUGE tree right next to my fence. . And it grew right over the fence to MY SIDE. . and during spring, it blooms these ugly white flowers that fall right into my POND in my back yard. . I have to clean my pond and yard everyday because of this. .



What can I do ? Can I sneak over and put something in his tree to kill it ? Any advice or suggestions would help =]



Thanks.

Here in New Zealand we are legally entitled to cut off any growth that crosses the property line(Make sure you know where that is) and return prunings to neighbours property



But usually we go and talk to neighbour about problem and in most cases it can be sorted. However when it cant "Its all on"
Reply:you can do anything to that tree that is in your yard but not anything to it that is in there yard. Make sure you know where your property line is and then anything that goes over that line can be cut off and rid of. They are responsible for that tree and anything or any damage that it causes you. but you would have to take them to court with evidence of the problems that you are having. Take pictures and make sure you back up anything that you are going to sue them over.
Reply:Trees never bloom for very long. Put a mesh net over your pond for the few weeks the tree blooms and then again when the leaves fall. Just collect the debris everyday off the netting and you won't have to worry about cleaning out the pond.



Oh, and stop being such a baby, trees belong in urban yards just as much as we do.
Reply:Legally you are allowed to trim branches that hang over your side of the fence. I'm sure the neighbour won't mind ~ always a god idea to let them know of your intentions first though.

Get some wire meshing to cover your pond when the tree is in flower ~ will stop them falling into your pond.
Reply:yea,,,here in Mississippi,,,any limb hanging over the property line can be trimmed off,,,talk to neighbor first bout it,,,if it kills the tree you might be responsible for the tree dying,,might ought git a pro, tree trimmer to do this ,,he' ll know how much to trim with out damaging the tree
Reply:I'd be more inclined to cover the pond with mesh rather than cutting off branches of a flowering tree. You can legally trim a neighbor's tree that's hanging over into your yard.
Reply:Cut the limbs off that come over your property! Your idea was good too!
