- The law allows you to cut back any branches or roots from neighbours’ trees that are encroaching on your property. First, though, it’s always best to talk to your neighbour to see if you can agree on a solution.
- When branches or roots of trees encroach from a neighbour’s property, you can cut back the parts of the tree that are encroaching, as far as the neighbour’s boundary.

- Taking responsibility
- If your neighbour's tree is causing problems, the first step is to talk to them.
- A mutually agreeable solution will be preferable to a lengthy, costly and bitter legal battle.
- If the roots or branches of your neighbour's tree encroach on your land, you can cut them back to the boundary line. In law, this is called "abatement".
- No unnecessary damage should result, and you should not trespass on your neighbour's property.
- If you are cutting out part of the tree's roots, take care not to undermine the stability of the tree or the ground around it.
- Cuttings and fruit belong to the tree owner. You can put them back on their property
