In most jurisdictions your neighbor has the right to cut anything that
encroaches onto his property, to the extent of the encroachment anyway.
That's true in PA, and WV, anyway, where I practice. So he could trim it
back.

you can't really trim it back without badly damaging it, and probably
killing it.

You sound like an attorney--I'm curious which state you practice in and
whether you think I should contact a lawyer in ny or not to even
bother?

I am, and I practice in British Columbia - which is why you should get
some
advice from a local lawyer.

Good luck.
