Neighbour mad I planted trees
We bought our house 3 years ago. When we moved here, the neighbour told me that one tree by the fence line loses flowers and leaves and they get in his pool, we pruned it and even offered to remove it - he said no leave it for privacy. We have pruned it several times since then, the last time being April, no branches were hanging in his yard. Regardless though we’re in Canada and he’s responsible for any that hang in his yard. We have no privacy in our yard, and we’ve been landscaping our yard this year. I put in a dwarf apple tree about 2 metres from the fence line. My husband gets a text that he wants to know what kind of tree we planted in the yard, and that he’s concerned about it shading his pool in the backyard and leaves. Telling us this other tree he’s complained about (but told us not to cut down) costs him $1000 a year in time, chemicals etc due to its “flowers.” I feel really upset. This is my yard. We have always maintained the tree, offered to get rid of it, and it’ll be the same with this new tree. He also has two giant apple trees right beside his pool, a HUGE spruce that overhangs into our yard and giant roots tearing up our grass, and another tree I have no idea what it is and a cedar. His text was long winded and went on how he doesn’t mind maintenance of his own trees but not other peoples. So I guess he’s allowed trees but not us. He also does not have a pool cover for his pool. He puts one on in the winter only. I have bad anxiety so I ended up moving this apple tree even further into my property and removed the other tree to be accommodating but I need to figure out what I can do and plant along our fence so get privacy. Does anyone else find this incredibly entitled and unfair? Anyone have ideas what I can plant that will grow tall and fast but also not lose leaves over the fence and impact shade much so I don’t have to deal with him.
