Thought I should post a pictu

It is actually a Colorado blue spruce largely denuded but Norway spruce
is next to it and that is the gap I am concerned about. It is unsightly
from the road.

I do not know what is is that neighbor planted but do not know if that
is what I want or what it will look like in a couple of years. That is
his house and drive on the right and as shown, trees are close to the
development cul-de-sac road.

Lesson for home owners is to be careful what you plant because this can
happen after 40 years.


Where is the property line? That bunch of about 10 things is what he planted?
They look like arborvitaes. He's a moron, IDK what the point to planting
them like that, in like 3 rows made into a bunch is. Planting them so they
are along the driveway and road would make sense. The area in between
that and your tree, you could plant a larger arborvitae, they grow pretty fast.
Deer a problem? They eat them, they have some varities that are said to be
deer resistant. If there are deer, that's a major issue in your selection.
They even eat hollies, but those less than arborvitaes. Whatever he's planted,
he's probably dumb so he won't water them and they will die anyway.
