Default Can someone recover damages for my plants growing on their property?

Anyway, Crazy Neighbor started ranting at me this morning when I got
the paper ( I swear she looks out the window and waits for me.) Her
complaint was some of bamboo ( I guess that is what it is ) in my yard
has sprouted in her yard 2-3 yards from the fence. She said she had
to have her "yard man" poison it and she wanted me to pay for the
Round Up.

I'm new to the neighborhood and I don't want to make waves, but I have
no idea of paying crazy neighbor. I realize she can sue me for
anything she wants but that doesn't mean she will win or recover $$
for any damages.

As I said, she is crazy. As in the Bat **** Crazy / Mean Crazy, not
the "Ol she is a sweat Little Old Lady" - don't mind the 50 cats in
her house, she is a little off.

So, does anyone know if I would be irresponsible for my plants growing
into her yard? I know that laws vary from State to State and county
to county, but in general, can someone give me some advice regarding
this?

IMO she can't charge you. But you say you are new to the neighborhood
which means you didn't plant that crap. If I were you, I would be
doing my best to get rid of it. Not for the neighbor's benefit but for
yours. Who needs something that is going to take over your yard? It
isn't easy to eradicate but every year you wait makes it harder.
