[quote=Anonymous]We live on a 1/4 acre lot, and our next door neighbors planted a sapling of a huge tree (typically 70+ ft) last year. Our houses face different directions, and at full height the tree will not block any sun from their house, but will block an entire side of ours. It's also planted 20' from our foundation and water line; all research I've read about this tree indicates that it should be planted 50+ feet from houses due to how big the root structure gets and the fact that the tree (tulip poplar) is very prone to large limbs falling off. I nicely approached them with my concerns when they planted it, and they said they were not worried. A year later it seems to be thriving and has grown quite a bit. Is there anything I can do besides wait for the tree to be mature and hope it never damages our house? We plan to live here for 15+ years so we will see it get quite big.[/quote]
