Neighbour complaining about my tree over growing on their side of the garden, any advice?
We moved in to this house in 2024, this fig tree was already there when we moved in. Its right next to the wooden fence that separates my garden to my neighbours. It was planted about 1ft from the fence (who thought that was a good idea)
They haven't complained since we moved in but today the neighbour came and said "your tree is overgrowing on my side of the garden and causing insects,, when are you going to trim it. Can you make sure you trim our side of the tree when you cut it"
Any advice? I thought it's their job to trim their side of it even though the tree is on my side.. a part of it such as branches etc go in to their garden.
I wonder if they ever said that to the previous owners or are just saying it to me
