The only problem with dealing with it yourself is the fact that you'd be leaving yourself open to a Criminal Damage charge frown

From a personal point of view, it's also not fair on the tree but then I've been a "tree hugger" for many, many years.

Ring barking is very effective eventually - but is also very obvious. The tree I have in mind as a target (only ONE tree - honest) will need to be treated in a non-obvious way. I LIKE the tree but the roots are invading my garden something rotten and there is a lot of branch overhang. I also worry about the drains because the drain run is only some 3M from the tree trunk.

5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness

if the branches are protruding in to your garden, you are allowed to cut them your self, as long as you return all the bits you cut off back to your neighbour, if you dont he could get you done for theft.

Sounds like you need the assistance of an act of god.

Beg, borrow or steal an air rifle, get a couple of 2 litre pop bottles, paint them a matt colour to make them unobtrusive when next to the trunk on the tree.

Fill bottle with petrol and secrete on the tree so they are only visible from your property, next thunderstorm shoot bottles with airgun so petrol runs down tree, light and watch bonfire.

Of course congratulate your neighbour on his good luck with a lightning strike that missed his house and only got the tree.

If it was on my side then I'd cut off the overhang and be done with it. I wouldn't think twice and I doubt the tree owner would give a rats arse anyway
