Glad you qualified your observation with "normally." While the branches
overhanging your property are "yours" if, in dealing with them, you kill
"his" tree, a whole new set of liabilities come up.

Right, but the branches that fall are yours to deal with. You can trim the
tree but you'd better not kill it doing so.
