Greetings All,
I'm concerned that my neighbor may be trying to kill one of my trees.
It sits about 2 feet from our common property line and he does nothing
but complain about it. I'm not sure of the species, but it's not an oak.
I've heard of some ways to kill a tree (copper nails in it, etc) but you
folks are the experts. What signs should I look out for from my
neferious neighbor? I really want to keep my tree. Thanks, Mark

If it's not an oak we can't help you. Go talk to a local tree
surgeon and have him take the tree's temperatre for you..

Sorry - we're only experts after the tree is dead. Let us know after
your neighbor succeeds in his secret plot, and maybe one of us would
be interested in having it milled up. With your tempting description
of "not an oak", I'm sure the wood would be in high demand.

I'd say if there's a big notch cut in it pointed at your house that
would be a pretty good sign.

What's he upset about? Roots in his yard? Too much shade? Think's
it going to fall on his property? Just hates trees in general?

Broadleaf Week Killer. Enough granuals (as is weed and feed) around
the base of the tree will do the job. Or just spray the tree with
liquid broadleaf week killer. Ideally, in the fall just before the
leafs turn. You won't notice anything odd until the next spring when
your tree doesn't leaf out. I can attest this works wonderfully on
cotton wood trees and black locust. Don't ask me how I know about
this.

Perhaps invite him over, offer a beer, and talk about nothing. There's
a more-serious "trust" issue going on here.

Probably cuz he doesn't have any, so there's nothing for me to kill.

Salt will kill a tree, if applied around the base. The removal of a
sizeable strip of cambium around the girth of the main stem(s) will
also kill a tree.

Last year I removed the bark and notched completely around two
different trees, yet the trees (to my surprise) have completely leafed
out. After ringing a tree how long will it take it die? Plus, the
trees are putting out suckers that I constantly cut off. My plan is
to drill holes in the stump and keep them filled with nitrogen.

What variety of tree was this? If you actually cut the cambium layer
completely, it'll die beginning the moment the last cell is cut for any
species I'm aware of...

You must not have gotten quite deep enough.

eg Let me introduce you to weeping willow...

Six years after cutting the tree down and into 8' logs, they were
still putting out new branches (with leaves) and trying to re-root.

I had to roll the logs every year to prevent successful rooting.

How deep d'ya gotta go?

Ah, a lot like here, only colder. Damp and cool the past few days
(very low 60s, 1/4" rain per day), and I won't have to roll logs to
keep them from rooting, but I will have to go along and clip all the
shoots from various fruit trees and, particularly, the hybrid poplars
along the drive. The power company cut those down and ground up the
stumps last year, but I figure it will be a decade, at least, before
the shoots stop coming. The fruit tree shoots are simpler, because
they're slower growing--just mow them off. The poplars...yeah, well,
those things grew 3-4' annually for 15 years and don't seem inclined
to stop. Some of the shoots were a foot or more over my head before we
got them cut off. Within three years, they'd make viable trees again,
and then we'd be in the same cycle, with the power company needing to
cut down some healthy, great looking trees because ice storms can put
them into power lines. We'll clip.

I'm sure it was deep, all the way around. One is a sourwood, the
other is a locust (I believe).
