I hate driving around some suburbs and seeing no trees.
I don't understand the way so many people lose it over leaves, they're natural.
Sure they're annoying but it's more annoying to be walking in full Sun and having to get back in a vehicle that's been sitting in full Sun.
Yes, they do fall down and do damage and unfortunately kill the odd individual but they add so much to the streetscape and the natural environment

She wouldn't have bought it anyway.

New owners - young ones.     Won't be told.

Fruit trees are still overhanging the house.

They also overhang my house, but I have them chopped and thrown back over the fence.

Up to her then, not really your prob   ..... over hanging fruit trees are bonus

[imastawka]

Nope.

Not when they're clogging up my guttering.

The fruit is all stone - no flesh, cos they don't water them.

The apple trees have codling moth.

Hardly a bonus.

Put up some gutter guard, problem solved

And the bashing of the branches on my ancient, fragile roof tiles?

The dropping of rotten fruit all over my path?

Fruit that my grandson has an allergy to, I might add..

This conversation could go on.............but there's no point.

They're neighbours from hell

I do that, Convinced him to give me a hand to destroy a rose climber (what a pain)

Now he's got this other thing in the backyard that produces little light blue flowers, very invasive

So the trimmings go over the fence!

[imastawka]

By law, they own them, so it's gotta go back.

Get the branches trimmed back, tell ya granson not to eat the fruit, at his age he would prob know that anyway, prob solved

Or just keep stressing 'bout it

Easy choice

[imastawka]

Did ya miss the bit where I said I have the branches trimmed and thrown back over the fence?

Branches re-grow.    A lot.

Grandie doesn't have to eat the fruit to have a reaction.

Maybe I like stress.

Bad neighbour! 

Anything hanging over your fence is yours to deal with. You can reap the fruit, it's yours, or you can chop it back. 

Or you can antagonise your neighbours by throwing it back over the fence.
