Neighbor has a tree that shits leaves and gunk all over our back patio and the roots are coming under our fence and fucking up our concrete. I want to start spraying the limbs hanging over our fence with salt water and pour buckets of the stuff down on the roots if necessary. Approx how much salt am I going to need and how long do I need to keep dousing it to see this tree dead? Tree is approx. 20 foot tall and 10 years old.

      I know this tree. I was there when it was planted. I saw the original sapling get pulled out and brought to it’s new home. This is the leftovers uncared for by the current owners and it’s causing damage to my home. At a certain point, you decide to kill the invasive species of tree.

        Look into the local tree law before you do anything stupid. It could cost you a ton of money, and possibly criminal charges depending on where you live.
