Why did they cut it so tall? I'd fire myself if I cut trees like that!
They actually cut it again towards the bottom, they just left the round there. The guy was pretty nice about it. They came to some sort of barter agreement. Not sure what it is yet.
I'd imagine they would have a site survey tied to the deed? Around here you generally can't get a mortgage without a survey.
Thought it was clear hereany update on this? Im curious how it turned out

Very wise & practical wisdom right there.It depends on the placement of the tree and how important it is to the owner. It may be in an out of the way place where it doesn't matter much. If so, ask for the firewood if you need it. It may not be in the tree owners best interest to make a big fuss about it with the new neighbor if the tree really was not that important to him. Sure it pisses one off but don't let it get the better of you. If the tree is of real value then get a consulting arborist out there and get a lawyer and collect. You may be due triple damages. You will never be friends with this neighbor after this. If the neighbor seems honestly sorry about his act it may be best to forgive and forget as this guy may be your neighbor for a very long time and maybe even a good friend. Good neighbors can be a real asset and are worth overlooking a trespass or two. Looking out for each other and your properties creates a secure neighborhood. He may even be a good shot if you're lucky!
I was referring to what the actual agreement was.
