Unfortunately, there is a huge Magnolia tree that blocks a major portion. We are planning to build a pool and as much as I love trees and nature this tree needs to be addressed. I was planning on trimming or transplanting the tree but did not realize it was on the golf course property line. Has anyone encountered this type of scenario? And what results if any? Naysayers need not respond. I have seen all the jokes and negativity before on this site and it is disappointing. Loving the Villages Life in The Friendliest hometown in America. Sincerely appreciate your advice.
You can trim trees that trunks are on your neighbors properties that branches hang on your property. That said you would need to consult an aborist as to insure you don’t damage tree and get permission to enter neighbors property if needed . It also would be best practice to inform neighbor of your intentions to avoid a misunderstanding and prevent litigation for their interpretation of tree trespass .
