Neighbour as pollarded my acer

[Jason cooke]

Thank you lads.So pretty much it will grow back but with higher maintenance. 

Is there anything you  can buy to help it become stronger somehow.

If the neighbour came on to your side of the boundary or cut the tree on your side of the boundary without your agreement, he needs a bit of a wake up in regards of garden law!

Classic ‘planting a tree on a boundary’ scenario I’m afraid.

You are basically forcing your neighbour to have half a tree whether they want one or not.

 

It’s pretty horrible what he has done, though, and it looks like he’s gone well beyond cutting back to boundary.

 

You would think he would rather look at a nice tree than that horror show.

He's an amazing gardener. He hates leaves. I said I was cutting it back and not to worry were be great neighbours. He decided to break into the garden. And do this. Also he's left the entire canopy on the lawn for me to clean up.😂 it's ridiculous.

Nice tree, real shame. I'd be pissed.

As others have said, back to the boundary is fine and legal, despite what the tree looks like. 

 

The real question is about your long-term future relationship with the neighbour,  which will depend on what you do about it...

Absolutely. I've wrote a Police Statement so it's been recorded. This is such a great forum.

I was fuming and I went round. And just kept my temper. And said to him it will take time but never trespass again. So I wrote a police statement as recorded evidence. I will tell him this so the thought never crosses his mind again.
