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.
It’s not beloved shit. I was there when the last tenant planted the tree. I was also there when they pulled their sapling and took it with them to the next house. This is an overgrown, untended tree that grew back from leftover roots and is causing problems for multiple units. The slumlord that now owns the property bought it on a bank foreclosure after the last owner died and has put ZERO money into maintaining the property. They had NOTHING to do with the tree. The tree is an invasive species in this state. There is no reason to keep the tree except to be an asshole.
