Some quick questions to those who have dealt with this issues before.

My neighbour has an apple tree and its branches grew way over the fence to our side and over the summer the apples dropped from their trees have created a huge mess for us.

Can someone confirm that legally they are required to trim their trees so that it would not cause a mess.

[tarobbt]

first world problems :troll:

pick the apples and eat them

[murd0c]

speak to them about cutting the branches down. It's their tree and they are responsible to keep it trim. It they don't listen cut the branches and don't worry about it.

[DanHibiki]

What kind of apples? can i come over and collect?

[Energy]

I believe you can cut down the branches if they are overhanging on your property/trespassing on your airspace but it's better to talk to your neighbor about it and work something out.

[knight604]

Ill root it then plant it in your backyard.

[MG1]

As long as they don't hang aluminum pie plates from the branches, just let the apples fall on your side of the fence and invite us RS'rs over to an apple pie party.

All kidding aside, murd0c is right. Talk to them first and give them reasonable time to trim it. I would even offer to assist them.

[4444]

Man, is this what the world has come to? Inability of people to think reasonably and logically?

You, OP, are a retard - have a chat, if they won't do shit, cut off any overhang

[T4RAWR]

where do you live?

i will happily come and gather all the apples.

i'm serious :pokerface:

[noventa]

I suggest you sue them for everything they got until they lose their home and have no food. Then you can feed them the apples that put them in that situation.

[spyker]

I would just ask them nicely if they mind if you trim the branches so they don't intrude into your property,if they are nice people,they usually won't mind.

[murd0c]

I'm more confused why you haven't asked them and decided to post on RS instead? Really how can anyone in life survive if they can't ask a neighbor a reasonable request but post it on the internet instead?

[Soundy]

Because RS knows everything!

[SB7]

Can RS please tell me the secret of life?

[nns]

OP should grow a tree of his own that reaches over the fence to his neighbors side.

:troll:

Maybe it'll go back and forth. Then you'll have fruit salad.

[StylinRed]

^^^^ to add to that notion


you should plant a Durian tree in the corner of your lot and cut off all branches that are over your lawn so the only branches with durians on them will be at your neighbours

[double0seven]

Good luck trying to grow durians here though :troll:

[Alby]

in the same situation myself for years now. every summer their branches grow over and drop apples into our yard. we've been reasonable and have talked to them about it. they wouldn't do shit. so we cut it and let that be that. as for the apples, i let it rot a bit and throw it back over the fence so they deal with it.

[JesseBlue]

so you are against apples that are on the ground? create a gadget that would pick it up automatically...

i mean your parents did...

[bcrdukes]

1. Man up
2. Talk to your neighbour. Be reasonable.
3. If all else fails - Ask city hall if there are any rules and/or procedures on how to proceed or to escalate.
4. Profit?

[frozen]

Well, let's put aside the fucking idiots that said about picking and eating the apples with insects all over them even before they drop for now. Do you retards actually thought the apples you're buying from the store came from these apple trees naturally grown in the backyard without any fertilizers? And do you have any idea how a big fucking pain it is to clean all these apples when you are working long hours every day? not to mention the mess is caused by your neighbor.

This wasn't even about manning up. I will absolutely talk to them, and my question was that what if their answer was a "no". If it is not their legal obligation to trim the branches, then I will simply either work out with them a reasonable cost to do it, or just get a ladder and trim them myself. However, if by law they are REQUIRED to trim their branches, then at least I can kindly tell them that they really can't say "no".

Anyway, I asked a friend of mine and apparently it is not your neighbor's obligations to trim trees. You are free to trim whatever that stick to your side, but legally they are not required to trim themselves, contrary to what many people believe.

Holy fuck I gotta love all these smartass comments some RSers post, thinking they are so smart while being unemployed.

[yray]

gotta graft some apple trees at op's house :troll:

[EmperorIS]

Fuck Carrots.

[J____]

you should tear down the fence around the apple tree then rebuild the fence on the other side of the apple tree, now the apple tree is yours. Make sure you leave a branch over their side though, that way they'll have the messy apple situation.

People buy fertilizer to fertilize fruit trees growing in their backyards.

[MindBomber]

Anyway, I asked a friend of mine and apparently it is not your neighbor's obligations to trim trees. You are free to trim whatever that stick to your side, but legally they are not required to trim themselves, contrary to what many people believe.


May I ask, what are your friend's qualifications to answer a question on tree-trimming? If he's a self-proclaimed expert, and not an arborist or otherwise trained in a related field, you may want to consult a person actually qualified to answer the question before proceeding. If your neighbor says no, and you take it upon yourself to chop the branches off, you're placing yourself at serious liability.

-The Apple Tree is considered your neighbors property.
-The Apple Tree branches extending over the property line are a part of it, and thus your neighbors property.
-If you damage your neighbors property, whether in part of whole, you are liable for damages.
-Improper Apple Tree trimming has the potential to sicken or kill the tree.
-A mature Apple Tree technically has a replacement value of several thousand dollars, and a sick tree could incur a very expensive bill from an arborist.
-Depending on the area, you may be allowed to trim the tree (still liable if you kill it), or you may need to have the city order the neighbor to trim it or allow you to.
-The Apples are legally your neighbors property, T4 and Dan need to ask them for the permission to take them, and you for permission to go on the property :troll:

I'm not an Arbor, this is not my area of expertise.

Contact the city, which is what you should have done in the first place.

One further bit of advice, stop being an arrogant cunt.

If you ask for specific legal/horticultural advice on RS, you should not expect a professional answer.

[flagella]

rofl

[frozen]

I don't see how I was being arrogant in any way in my original post? You're mind blowing me. I don't expect a professional to chime in and give me a perfect answer. I just simply asked if anyone can share their experience if they had one. And yes, I know I can ask the city, but I've gone through the process of asking the city questions before and it can be a pain.

[MindBomber]

If you'd rather not consult the city, call an arborist, they MIGHT give you five minutes of free advice over the phone. Most would not. If you don't want to go through the city, keep in mind, good advice isn't cheap, and cheap advice isn't good.

Holy fuck I gotta love all these smartass comments some RSers post, thinking they are so smart while being unemployed.

This is arrogant.

[parm104]

Legally, they are required to trim them if they pose a risk or a hazard and they know about this risk or hazard.

Legally, you own the area above and below your land...that being said, a tree branch on your side of the property is yours to do as u will.

On a side note, debris from trees in our neighbour's yards are common occurrences. They're fucking Apples, how many could there possibly be. Man up, go talk to your neighbour or stfu because you really don't need a thread on Revscene or anywhere else on the internet to figure out what to do.

I can't imagine what you would do when life throws a REAL problem your way if you can't even function in society to get rid of a tree pest problem.

I dont see what the issue is with eating fruit that is grown in a backyard. I have a pear and apple tree in my backyard and I do eat them from time to time. You think your store bought apples didnt or dont have insects all over them either?

If you didnt want smart ass comments, or actual legal advice, dont ask them on a web forum. Especially RS ha

It's a classic thread

aluminium plate? haha

i dont' really know what really happens there
just should i go back and take a look?:suspicious:

Right, forgot you moved.............

It's a classic thread

that's why I gave thanks to OP, LOL. Aluminum pie plate was a classic, too. At least OP of that thread was all cool about it............. right, danned?

Ah, RS is so complicated.

[Gridlock]

I read this whole thread as, "I don't JUST want to go and talk to my neighbor, I want to go and be a dick to my neighbor"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but going over and saying, "apple tree. What up?" and coming to an agreement on trimming it, he wants to go over and say, "pursuant to city by-law 21-12, you have 24 hours to trim the tree to my satisfaction or I'll call the city by-law enforcement team to blah blah blah" Or some derivative thereof.

No one knows how to talk to people anymore.

"Fertilizer" is another word for shit. It does nothing special except help the apple grow faster and bigger. Orchard-grown apples are also covered with pesticides and herbicides that you have to wash off. They may also have been treated with growth hormones. And they were probably picked two weeks ago before being bounced around various trucks on their way to the store.

Backyard apples are not. If you look at the apple and don't see worm holes, then that apple does not have insects. It is probably the cleanest, purest, FRESHEST, most organic apple you'll ever eat. Run some water over it in the sink, and you're good to go.

Fucking city kids... you probably saw one of those slaughterhouse videos and think you're better off buying meat at Safeway instead of the butcher's so the cow didn't have to go through that.

And do you have any idea how a big fucking pain it is to clean all these apples when you are working long hours every day?
Hope you didn't break a nail typing this...

Half of my childhood was spent at my grandparent's home in Langley, my grandfather (80) had his own farm of sorts at the back of the house, he didn't use pesticides or growth additives. Those were some of the most fantastic meals I have ever had the chance of tasting.

It's simple, if the apple doesn't have any holes in it, it's safe to assume that it hasn't been spoiled by insects. If you leave them to drop on the ground, the chance that an apple with spoil increases ten fold.

So what you've told us all, is that you hate REAL fresh produce, and that you can't physically clean a fucking apple.

Congratulations.

[Razor Ramon HG]

That and gathering a bunch of apples with a rake or shovel + throwing them in a bag takes less than 20 minutes.

I would know, we used to have an apple tree until my dad cut it down.

[b0unce. [?]]

sometimes i'm not sure if these threads are legit lol. there can't be people that dumb. either that or their great at trolling :lol

What blows my mind is how instead of calling up your neighbour to discuss you on on RS to ask.. :fulloffuck: probably wasted more time discussing in on RS then just a talk with your neighbour to resolve! Just be like

"Hey Neighbour, mind if you trim your tree?"

Doesn't sound like you know the difference between fertilizers and pesticides.

But anyways, we have an apple tree, I used to pick them when I was younger. Fertilizing was not required.

I didn't participate in those threads but I would like to give me $0.02 on why I can see these kinds of threads going into Fight Club.

I understand the gesture and the motive behind threads like these, it's members of Rev trying to warn others of bad experiences they've had. This makes sense. It's a nice gesture. But more often than not, these threads are warning us about things that are so simple and common sense! At least, they should be common sense.

I find myself fighting hard to not fail someone who posts a thread about "locking your car doors" so that you don't get shit stolen or asking for help to deal with apples on the floor. While others are posting questions on advice on what to do when their girlfriends have discovered that they wear make up...

LOL this shit is dumb! I guess it doesn't really affect me in anyway. I should just chuckle and enjoy the entertainment, but I just can't believe how dumb some people are! So many people are unable to FUNCTION in society.

Do you retards actually thought the apples you're buying from the store came from these apple trees naturally grown in the backyard without any fertilizers?

Apples you buy from the store absolutely have had insects crawling all over them, and many have been on the ground before being shipped to a store. Those "organically grown" fruits you buy? Chalk load of insects have been on 'em. It's freakin' natural.

I've got numerous fruit plants in my backyard and many of my neighbours have apple trees. None of us have ever gotten sick from eating a natural piece of fruit.

What's so good about the apples you buy from Wal-Mart that have had a pound of pesticides dumped on 'em and then waxed to appear shiny?

And do you have any idea how a big fucking pain it is to clean all these apples when you are working long hours every day? not to mention the mess is caused by your neighbor.

Yup, I do. Five minutes with a shovel near the end of each fruiting season.

Done.

hahahahaha bro if i were you i'd set up a blanket or net and catch those apples. i wanted to give you some credit and thought they might be undeveloped apples but those free organic apples are far better for you then monsanto's GMO apples laced with pesticides grown into the genetics of what used to be a perfect snack, cloned over and over creating a mono culture that could wipe out an entire industry.
