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.

Just cut it down. It'll be dead for sure.

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.

Because I'm not allowed to cut it down if it's not dead.

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.

You could salt the roots... but you will not be able to grow anything
else there for years.

A biodegradable herbicide should also work if used in sufficient
quantities.

Personally, I'd welcome the shade! Saves me on electric bills cooling
the house.

I expected at least one of your ilk. The only reason I can't remove it is
because my neighbor doesn't want me to.

But then, it's not 1 foot from her wall.

Could you have it moved? I've seen some of the home improvement shows in
the US showing how professionals move trees.

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.

Girdle it clost to the ground. Just cut a narrow strip of bark off
completely around the tree..all the way through the bark. It will die
next spring
