I wouldn't worry about the toxicity - I'd imagine it would say that about a lot of plants it just means its not edible

If you do cut it back, just pop the branches over to your neighbour, it's their obligation to get rid of the waste

If I remember correctly the berries will give you a upset stomach but not a lot more than that.

Aye . . cheers

Going to speak to Mrs Grady, old (neighbour) lady and check out the sich..

Then I'm going to sympathetically cut it back (while removing the minging branches of another tree that are intermingled and ugly)..

This is my cotoneaster, far more manageable, pruning is easier and the branches are easier to lob over next door's fence. Grown from seed, currently 5 years old.

I am in the middle of an issue like this, from the other side.

My walnut tree is trying to get in my neighbour's upstairs windows.

The previous occupants had no problem trimming it back but the new tenants want me to cut it back.

It extends up to the third and fourth floor so I am going to have to use their windows and the roof of their extension to get to it.

I don't like working at height without ropes.

Walnut trees are cool . . . and rather tall too by the sound of it :shock:

Ours is leaning at maybe forty five degrees, still probably makes seventy feet.

Full of squirrels and cats.

I can do most of the work on it just climbing up it.

Too heavy for those extending limbs though.
