Hoping to get some expert eyes on this. We’re installing a fence in part of our yard as a safe space for our toddler and there‘s a tree sitting right near the property line (fully on our side) that’s creating a routing challenge.

They can’t route it to the left of this tree as it’s beyond our property. They can’t route it to the right of this tree because we have a stone wall (hard to see).

I’ve marked the sections in red in the photo... if we can remove at least the left branch (and maybe the bottom branch) we avoid any issue.

A few questions;

• Is it safe/advisable to cut the marked sections?
• It appears to be the same type of tree growing around/near another tree but I’m unsure if they’re actually the same tree/root system or distinct. Curious if that changes the answer.

We’ve luckily never had to cut trees on our property so trying to do the right thing but also make it toddler safe back there.
