What got me thinking about it is our 15-20m high Birch, a mere 4 or 5m
from our neighbour. At present, it's sheding twigs. Though no branch
extends over the neigbours, at such a height some twigs do blow in.
They've never as much as commented, but I was wondering what if they
did, because we would have to fit the bill for any tree work to be
done, whilst they and all our other neighbours benefit from the tree...
free of charge!

A.C. I'm not quite sure what you are asking here! As your neighbour
has not complained over a few twigs, why are you worrying about
possible tree surgery!! I get branches, twigs etc blowing/falling
into my garden, and leaves from the hundreds of trees around here, it
doesn't worry me, it's all very natural and at least it's not a man
made nuisance - just think how lucky you are, you have a nice neighbour.
