At the end of the day it looks like a leylandii that's been "shaped" - it will never regrow!
It's not going to end well!

I aspire to that level of commitment to pettiness.

I note the driveway prevents sausage based revenge.

It's a leylanii. Big deal.

On one side you have the keeper of said carbuncle and on the other a monoblock enthusiast, neither have much to be shouting about. Wonder how long before pressure washed penis drawings start appearing on said "driveway".

According to a neighbour they live in the country and Apparently pigeons are part of living in the country.......

Doesn't much look like the country I remember. Looks fairly urban - suburban at a push

And like wise flying rats are more of an urban issue

I'm on the neighbours side. If the neighbour had asked me the tree would have been on the ground within the hour and stacked as firewood with a couple of days. The law is on the neighbour's side yet the media are portraying him as the villain even though Mistry admits to being an angry man.

Legally, the neighbour is entitled to do this and is within their rights to ask the neighbour if he would like the trimmings back. Why the neighbour decided to plant such a tree right on his boundary, didn’t bother to trim it and then takes offence that his neighbour gets peeved.

In the pictures it looks like the piece of fencing the gate hinges on may be on the neighbours property - looks to overlap his house wall. I'd be nipping out with the angle grinder. And planting a strip of leykandii.

Very sad how many people have lost touch completely with nature. As a gardener I come across things like this alot. Can't have leaves landing in my property from a neighbouring tree or anything growing over from next door even if it's something beautiful with flowers it's seen as an invader and must be hacked back.

The tree has since become a tourist attraction after photos of it were shared online, with people making trips to see it.

Yes some of them even travelled from as far as the other side of the road to see it. I hope.

Same. I have many stories of pettiness and ridiculous behaviour but I best not share them publicly

See, I get that, but I refer to my previous comment:

They're ****ing awful things. And they're sterile hybrids to boot, nothing natural about them, although that is their only saving grace.

Never trust anyone who has net curtains on his shed.

Surely an offence under WACA '81?

My parking space at work is under a leylandii and the car is constantly covered with bird shit, sap, and the needles fall off and block the car's drainage holes. PITA.

It's a weird bit of law that somebody can grow a tree, cause other people a good deal of nuisance, with no obligation to maintain it.
