I am just a bit curious.
What kind of tree is it?
About how big is the diameter of tree at the ground?
What evidence or fact sheet do you have indicating that the tree
should be trimmed?

Where I live, that would probably bring the police to the

tree.
Can't cut down a tree without a permit. And probably
can't throw
trash
in my neighbor's yard.

*If* the provisions of English Law have been inherited in
the locality
in question, the OP has the *right* to cut the offending
limbs back to
the property line (because they are intruding into his
property) and the
*duty* to return the cut-off branches to the neighbor, whose
property
they are.

Nevertheless, asking nicely and perhaps coming to an
amicable
cost-sharing arrangement probably would be far preferable.

No way would *I* have the limbs cut off at the property line
because,
the tree is only 8 ft from the line and the limbs are about
40' long.

That is why I asked the question in the first place. It's not
like the
tree is in the middle of their yard and some limbs are
"hanging" in my
yard that need to be "trimmed". The tree might as well be in
my yard
it's so close and it hasn't been pruned in yrs. So simply
trimming off
the ends is a temporary fix.

The tree needs to be pruned. And I don't have the $400+ to
have it
done. Especially when it's not my tree.



Then quit worrying about it. Either prune what you want on
your side of the
line or quit whining. Your neighbor doesn't owe you anything
here.

Fine, send me a money order for $500, deal?
