We have a fifty year old maple tree that our neighbor has decided he wants taken down. Three months ago we told him to go ahead. He wanted us to pay-which is not in our budget. There is nothing wrong with the tree. He claims it is damaging his basement walls.
The tree in on the property line. He is not willing to pay.
Fast forward to today. We discover that he has drilled at least 10 quarter inch wide, at least six inch deep holes in the bottom of his side of the tree. He has poured some kind of poisen or brush killer in the holes. I don't know when he drilled the holes, I caught him in the act of dumping the poison in them tonight. I certainly don't want a dead tree in my yard. It is a beautiful tree and shades our side yard. We immediately rinsed the holes, but I'm afraid the damage may already be done.
Can anyone tell me if there's anything else we can do?
Thank you.
