June 8, 20206 yr Popular Post We had some 70 mph winds with higher gusts. It blew down a neighbors rotten Aspen tree. It snapped at its base and came over on my side of the fence. Add my other neighbor's weeping willow and I had one heck of a mess. My wife helped with the small stuff and I worked most of 2 days cleaning up the mess. I don't know who was responsible to clean up or pay for it, I think it can vary from state to state. I know in OH, if a neighbors fruit tree grows over the fence you are entitled to all the fruit on it and you can trim it back to the property line. We got it cleaned up and a friend took most of the burnable wood for camping. To be VERY honest, with all this self isolation, it felt good to do a good days work.
June 8, 20206 yr Looks like the fence escaped with very little damage. It's always a job cleaning up after those kind of storms.
June 9, 20206 yr If the aspen is worthy, cut it into lengths and mill it or have it milled. It is pretty good for shelves and such. Here in Florida, if bushes or trees are hanging over your property line, you can trim back up to a foot into their property. And, if it bears fruit, you get to enjoy what you can reach. All my bearing trees are in my yard. Not sharing.

The neighbor did help push it off the fence. 2 hours later he came to the fence to offer me a beer. First time I'd ever seen him. Every home has a fence like that and must keep it in good shape. We have a HMO and strict enforcement. Most of the time is OK, sometimes it is not
