Seawatch, there is no way your neighbor could win if the trees don't represent a hazard. "too much shade" is no reason to sue someone. The problem with our law system is it allows lawers to work on a contingency basis (you only pay if you win). This makes it very easy for people to carry frivolous law suits. There is no way they can win without any REAL argument except "I don't like your trees"!

And yes, your arborist is right - topping off a tree will deform it, make it sick, and potentially kill it!!! Argh!!!

SW, would love some elderberyy seed, whenever you get any. Thanks again for your awesome generosity!
