I'm not going to read this entire thread. So if someone has already posted this solution, I apologise for the repeat.
You might try Spraying Roundup all around the base of the tree. I did that once trying to kill weeds. I killed the weeds and also killed the tree.
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.

there was once a huge oak tree at a 4 way intersection that made viewing traffic very hard. after an accident there were complaints to the county to cut it down but for some reason they would not, it was probably on private land is my guess.
any how it died - it took 2 years but it did die. i heard that a few granules of spike were sprinkled around it from a farmer that i knew well.
i have accidentally killed oak and hickory trees with spike and i did not get the pellets with in 15 feet of the trees that died.

Landscaping buddy uses a mixture of roundup, diesel fuel, and dawn which helps it stick when using his sprayer. Claims it will kill about anything.

I have nice neighbors, the US Bureau of Land Management, but they don't keep up the property very well and they lease it to some folks with stinky brush control methods that draw flies. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/sfTH5qjF/DSC-0537.jpg) The BLM "weeds" grow right up to my fenceline. And their critters come over and eat my plants: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/sXkLZZPn/DSC-0569.jpg) And these "weeds" are always being blow in by the wind, or carried in by their critters, then sprouting, flowering, and trying to spread too. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/qRvJZS9f/DSC-0557.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Pxnw0XdL/DSC-0547.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/52cbB6gF/DSC-0527.jpg) Remember..................One man's weeds are another man's wildflowers.

In old England the Oak on your property belonged to the king. But if it fell over, you could have it. That is where the term "windfall" came from.
In old England the deer on your property belonged to the king. If you killed it, you were a poacher.
In the young America, the trees and deer on your property were yours.
Now the game department owns the deer on my property and the city requires a permit for me to trim or cut a tree. I have to submit a geological survey among other things.

good mornin' Lynn, How many pages are you guessing? Geno Good morning Geno, I am thinking 33 pages as things stand right now, but if the libations start to flow it could go 45. Quite truthfully, I would respect a neighbour who came and talked to me about the problem, and I would be more than willing to work with him as he showed me he gave a damn about doing it right. I have a big problem with gutless humans, male or females. don't matter which. Three categories of friends I don't own, and family I don't keep around, gutless, useless, and stupid. Makes life just a little less annoying. Personally if someone killed anything on my land/property, life would get interesting for them. I hope you have a good day, and that life might just bless you with something extra special today  Lynn Lynn, I'll take your reply as extra special enough today. My wife and I have a new puppy and we're plenty blessed already, the sun is shining, it's up to just above freezing from a low of 12F, I can get some yard work done in preparation for Spring, and I have fun threads to read here! What more can a guy ask for? Geno

There is a product called Polaris, it will kill the sheit out of them, make sure you spray all the trees around his house and rest of his yard so he don't suspect it was you who just sprayed that one fence line. 😂😂😂

Since some are slamming me for killing someone else's trees, the owner does nothing along this fence line or his other fences. Everything grows wild and is never touched. They are completely bare right now, and if they just never grew leaves, oh well. That really has nothing to do with your willingness to trespass and destroy private property that does not belong to you. That is the long and short of it. You are conspiring to a criminal act.
