Maybe they will die and perhaps fall on his house.

There's no such thing as karma.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe it will encourage more vigorous growth and cause his house to subside.

Unfortunately the offender is simply likely to have another attempt. Council legal departments seem loathe to prosecute, even at times when the offenders caught in the act.

 

The best outcome likely is a good TO who will talk to the neighbours, not singling anyone out, pointing out how keen the authority is to prosecute. It might be a bluff, but it may just work.

 

Good luck, but don't get your hopes up.

 

I have proof positive that councils are loath to do ANYTHING with tree hackers, poisoners etc. highly frustrating. Here's hoping you have more success.

Regular poisonings, tree mutilations and tree removals all around lake Taupo, generally for views. People sneak on to council reserves or their neighbour's properties and do whatever they wish in order to get the view, reduce shading etc. I've never known anywhere quite like it.

A guy in Tauranga just got fine around $45k for having an "arborist" cut down Pohutukawas and other native trees on an adjoining council reserve in order to regain his view so yeah, it seems to happen around the country but more so where we have a view. Someone else has just been up in front of the judge for cutting down her neighbour's Pine trees because they were overhanging the boundary, at least that's what she told me.

What's the context of this one Jules?

 

Is it private or public?
