Sick of cherries

[alanjh595]

and your point is ……….. if it was their own property they wouldn't be asking now would they

My concerns were from a legal point.

If someone trespassed on another property to poison a tree, they could be charged with trespassing. If someone was to get sick or died from the fruit from that tree, they could be charged with manslaughter.
Either way, the legal defence costs could be much greater than a mutual resolution.
Until a resolution can be agreed upon, the pruning of the offending branches that are overhanging the property line may be the remedy.

It’s still going to smell horrible regardless. If the whole tree isn’t picked it’s disgusting when they start to rot

agreed. you cant just go onto someone else's property and start vandalizing.
trees between neighbours have been a problem since there's been trees and neighbours. Over time theres been laws put into place for just that reason. Not sure what a mature cherry tree is worth, but people have been on the hook financially for destroying someone else's trees. best to just talk to the neighbour and work something out

Unfortunately, there is little that can be done for you this year. You will have to deal with it for this season, it's too late to fix this, this year.
Make plans and reparations to address your issues for next year. Killing a tree, this late in the season will just cause a bigger mess than you already have. Better to prevent next year's problem.

I'm going to guess Harry de Haas regrets it to this day.

Offer to cut it down for him at your cost, or ask politely for him to maintain it. Or you know what, enjoy a few free cherries or share some with friends, family, or coworkers.

Trees are good for us. Besides providing shade, food and shelter for critters, they also help reduce runoff.

All you people that talk about trespassing, vandalizing, or poisoning another person's property should get a mental check.

A couple years ago, the house sold to a couple from Alberta that is almost never around. The problem I have is that now nobody maintains the tree.

Our city council seems to think there are no negative consequences to our community by selling off this city to out of town speculators and vacationers. I know this is just a cherry tree, but this is how communities are eroded.

How many F's does a Alberta resident give about the goings on of the community except for the 2-4 weeks they are here for?Schools shut down, traffic issues, wildlife issues - who cares as long as it doesn't affect their precious days off in July?

Tip of the iceberg.

WOW...what a stretch. From cherry tree to city council and Alberta residents. WOW

I’m not the one wanting to kill a tree, I have the same problem as the poster.

Either you didn't read the OP or you've never eaten cherries from neglected trees. They're not enjoyable, they are full of worms. Nothing worse than biting a cherry in half and seeing half a worm in the part you're still holding. *shudder*

I'm with you on everything else though.

[flamingfingers]

What's worse is finding HALF a worm in the part of the cherry you are still holding!!!!

Yuuuuuuuuk....it's supper time.

[flamingfingers]

Having cricket caramel apples for dessert?

Build a still ?

[alanjh595]

Yeah....thanks for that mental image. I haven't eaten in 5 days and I am going to lose this dinner too.
