(Neighbors) have launched a formal complaint under antisocial behaviour legislation to force him to cut back the vast leyland cypress trees completely filling the front garden.

What the fuck?

Just hire a crew to chop off anything that fall over the property line.

Yep. Not much you can do about the tree shading everything, (although there was a case where someone had to cut their trees because they shaded a neighbor's solar panels) but you can cut anything that hangs over your property line.

at 66 he's got wood that a guy half his age would envy

Is there anything you could do to "poison" the tree from the source?

I had a nice medium sized crape myrtle that bordered my property line...the neighbors on the other side hated it...so they sprayed the tree and several of my lilacs with some kind of herbicide...and it killed all of them within a few weeks. When they found out I was going to have the tree tested for herbicide and press charges if any turned up...they moved out and rented their house. Once they were gone, I just cut down the tree and lilacs rather than pursue it...so yes, you CAN indeed poison a tree easily.

as for the huge tree, that amount of density is asking for hellish amounts of insects and spiders.

That tree most likely will be dead by the time all legal proceedings conclude. They only live 25 years on average.

Why not just salt the neighbors tree until it dies?
Salt at walmart is something like $5 per 10kg. $50 worth of salt could kill the tree and the guys lawn 100x over

I think that looks hilarious. I hate the idea of telling people how they should decorate their house, but their shit should at least not extend beyond their own property line in any direction. Dude needs to trim a bit more.

agreed.

nevermind its an eyesore, it extends past his property and needs to be trimmed back *past* his property line a little, or at least to it

See, muffins DO grow on trees! That big breasted Youtube Cali girl was right although she missed the patisserie trees.
