If it is one foot from your wall, then perhaps it is threatening your
foundations and you could get a dispensation from the authorities to
take the tree down. Or, perhaps, you could find it in your heart to
accept that you live in a biologically diverse world and that the cedar
you want to kill removes dangerous CO2 from the atmosphere and is the
home to varied wild life. It must also perfume your house at no expense.

Ever heard of Elmer Gantry or Tartuff?

Does anyone know how I can cause a cedar to die so I can cut it down?

I know this is the wrong group but I don't know what group to ask in.



ok... stupid question... why does it have to die before you can cut it
down??


At a guess, I'd say it's probably blocking the light from his house or
in the way of something he wants to build, but he can't cut it down if
it isn't diseased or dead. In UK we have laws about stuff like that,
trees can have preservation orders on them.

You've got it in one! I'm in a park and my unit is right up against a row
of cedars. One has about 5 trunks and blocks all light from my kitchen.
No tree cutting allowed unless dead.

So there is a law against cutting down healthy trees where you are? Is
there not also a law against intentionally killing a healthy tree? Why
obey one law and break the other? Perhaps because you think you can
get away with killing the tree, but not with cutting it down?

There are many ways to kill a tree, but it would be nice if this one
falls on your unit.
