Throwing debris in neighbor’s yard

[Anonymous]

Trees a re both dangerous and a nuisance. Whenever we build a new house we clar cut to avoid both of these issues.

If the neighbor is “regularly” picking up all the debris, then it sounds like you aren’t maintaining your trees. When’s the last time you had an arborist remove dead branches and thin the crown? If it’s dropping that many branches and sticks, there’s a problem that you are responsible for. A branch falling “by an act of God” is a high wind speed storm that happens to randomly break a branch. Not constant “regular” falling of branches and debris. Furthermore, if they are throwing them on your side, take the social cue. They’re done with your mess. You’re lucky no one has been hit in the head yet. Who cares that the tree was there before you. If I bought a property with a sink hole, I can’t say it was there before me and let people fall into it. It’s your tree. You bought it. Fix the problem and be a decent person.

Depends on the tree. Our neighbor’s tree overhangs our yard and regularly drops twigs and the occasional small branch in our yard. It is the habit of the tree and has nothing to do with how the neighbor maintains it. It’s a beautiful tree and we get lots of shade. I don’t mind picking up after it.

We have two trees that are right on the line. I have no idea whose they actually are. The property next door is a rental so we do the maintenance. One may need to come down. Idealy we would share the cost but i am guessing we will pay.

What does this mean?

This is the correct answer. That, and trim you tree if it needs it. Otherwise, this is not something to get worked up over.

You’re just making up stories.

Sounds like you are not maintaining your tree which is making her upset.

Branches and sticks shouldn’t be falling regularly from healthy trees, unless it’s right after a storm.

A lot of words for a message that is flat out incorrect.

This isn't true. Some branch drop is normal in a health tree. Some trees are notorious shredders: Southern magnolia, sweetgum, pecan, oak, catalpa, silver maple).

Pruning...they are huge trees so it is expensive.

It depends on the tree. River birches for example drop small (but often long) branches quite frequently.

same with sycamore trees- they are the worse. lose leaves and twigs all year long.
