Re: "There is no accounting for people without a brain who plants a tree on the property line and thinks it will stay small for life."
In California, my parents home had a retaining wall that was 3 feet from the fence separating them from their neighbor. The two houses were only 30 feet apart.

They filled the gap between the retaining wall and the fence with good soil and had a nice garden there for many years. In fact, it was used as the Sacramento Bee's "Gardening" section front page one Sunday.

The neighbor, in his infinite wisdom and consideration, decided it would be nice to have elm trees on that side of his house, so he planted about 10 of them within a yard of the fence. You can guess what the roots from those huge trees did to my parents garden and, in short order, to the retaining wall and fence.

Many people are just idiots.

De and Cap'n.

Captain's unfortunate tree episdoe is exactly why I removed all trees in my yard near my house and am removing a couple the stupid neighbors on both sides planted on the property line and are now over 70 foot tall and threatening my house. They will be gone this summer. I already have permission to remove them, as I have the right to remove all of it that overhangs my property, but it will be safer if we do it right.

There is no accounting for people without a brain who plants a tree on the property line and thinks it will stay small for life.

Inconsiderate bastards..
