Tree roots crossing boundaries
My neighbor complains that roots from my tree are invading, and compromising his foundation. He wants me to cut it down. The tree is four stories high, and provides ample shade, for my house and the streetscape, and I'm loathe to chop it down. Is this my problem, or his? Are roots, like over-hanging branches, the responsibility of the over-hangee? Can he demand that I commit arborcide?
