The problem with cutting down branches that are attached to someone else's tree:
If it causes the tree to become unbalanced, then a hurricane could easily topple the tree - onto YOUR house.
If you cut the branches, and as a result, the tree topples onto the tree-owner's house, can they sue you for improper trimming? I mean around here, most people will hire a "handyman" to do this stuff. And most handyman don't know anything about proper crowning of a tree.
