Default Neighbor planted a palm on my property


"miamicuse" wrote in message
...
Just purchased a property and after doing the survey, I realized my new
neighbor planted a palm on my property...The palm is about 8 feet tall and
has a terra cotta border (round about 3 feet in diameter) with mulch. I
am
planning to construct a fence which will cut right through this terra
cotta
border with the palm ending on my side completely.

How should I handle this situation? I don't think it is practical to up
root the palm and plant it on their side, nor stopping and starting the
fence and leave a gap where this palm is...

Perhaps you can explain to this neighbor he unknowingly planted his palm on
your land and you plan to run a fence. Get some feedback from him. You
don't want to alienate a neighbor. He may tell you to keep the plant or he
may chose to move it back further onto his land. Find a happy medium if that
is possible.
