My neighbor intends to trim limbs on my trees on property line to the trunk of the tree. I told him if he did this it would make the tree heavy on one side and in a storm may fall on my barn. He said that was my problem. Can he legally trim this tree to make it a threat to my barn? I agreed that he could trim the tree to a reasonable distance to protect his barn but not make the tree a threat to my barn. There is approx. 20' between his barn and my tree.

I am in Upstate New York in Columbia County.

I would appreciate any information you may give me on this matter.

Thanks, John Monast, [email protected]

He can trim the tree on his side of the property but can not purposely trim so it causes an imbalance, damages or kills the tree. Why don't you hire a profesional tree trimming contractor to trim your tree the correct way. For more info do a search on this BB with keywords tree, trees.......
