walterboswell59 Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Posted November 18, 2016 You have the right to cut any part of the tree that over hangs your garden,copper nails also hammered into base will kill the treeyes but the problem is 50 foot up vince and im 5foot6 lol heard of the copper nails trick but heard it takes years to have any affect cant get a ladder into it as there is five limbs at the base making it very hard to work on it but ill see if this works
peter pandy Posted November 18, 2016 Report Posted November 18, 2016 Debarking a tree requires removing 12" wide ring round the base. Takes a while Wattie but if you have an awl drill into the centre and fill with diesel. remember that it will come down but where will depend on which way the wind is blowing. their is also the problem of it coming down on top of someone you love.. SO call in an expert Tree Surgeon and get them to do it safely. They wont charge you an arm and a leg then you can sell the remains off for logs and charge a £1 for 10 ready split and make a couple of hunred quid out of it. you need the excercise anyway. LOL

showman Posted November 18, 2016 Report Posted November 18, 2016 Have you contacted your neighbour expressing your concerns with the tree ?
JOHNSEE Posted November 19, 2016 Report Posted November 19, 2016 yip done that wull well the ones that could be reached anyway I believe that you are entitled to cut back any overhanging branches,but any cuttings must be put back over to your neighbour....JBC/..
Big Davie Posted November 19, 2016 Report Posted November 19, 2016 If you want to kill it find a root in your garden' bore a hole in this with an ogre or speed bit then feed the hole with diesel every day, when the tree dies it will be your neighbours responsibility to take it down and make it safe

walterboswell59 Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Posted November 20, 2016 Or just spend some ov your money Walter and get a tree surgeon to deal with it. :emoticon-0136-giggle:be glad to vince but its not my property im afraid it sits in a corner where 5 gardens meet but not in mine and theres a telegraph pole in the middle of it why bt do not get it cut back i dont know as there guys refuse to go up the pole when theres a fault as the tree now grows around the pole its just about shed all its leaves just now so its not as bad but im hoping by ringing it the branches that i cant get to will not grow leaves next year and that will stop the problem
