Default Conifers .. Who is responsible ?

" Which is what my neighbour did.
She told my brother that "she does not want to fall out with me" and then
wonders why she has.
She is territorial. Every branch of every tree on that side right down
down the whole 450 ft of my garden has been cut off and it's caused a
problem _ some of those fruit trees have been planted many years ago on
the border and it's unbalancing them, so they will fall in a high wind.
Which they have.
I have to limbo down the garden now to get to my chickens to feed them
underneath a damson tree that fell because all one side of it dared to to
put branches out.
I would not mind too much if it mattered to them
because they do not use more than more than 50 ft of
of the 450 ft garden they are lucky to have.


I wish I had your neighbour I side with her. If a person plants a large
shrub or small tree close to a border they are being selfish towards the
neighbour.

15 years ago I had a new neighbour who prompltly planted small trees and
large shrubs down the border. During Autumn at least 50% of the leaves end
up in my garden which I clear for obvious reasons. My neighbour OTOH leaves
her leaves until April of the following year before she clears them !

I should mention there is a husband as well and both are able bodied etc and
don't see the problem.
