<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps your PC can offer something of value to the neighbor to get a peaceful agreement not to touch the tree roots? That would be the quickest, most peaceful and perhaps least expensive way to handle the situation in the long run.

</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the neighbor remains bent on removing the tree roots, then you should write a cease and desist letter and/or file a Declaratory Judgment Action and seek an immediate emergency injunction against cutting the roots. If that is granted,
then you can argue all of the cogent responses from your colleagues on this Listserv! An experienced arborist will be a MUST as your expert witness. The case would be in SnoCo and SnoCo is in Division I, so expect to see the opposing party argue the Mustoe
decision. <o:p></o:p></p>

the tree itself. I asked about moving the tree (not an inexpensive job) or cutting it and planting another further in from the property line. This is a very old, original growth, VERY big tree. Moving it would be impossible and the owner does not want to
cut this 150 ft, high tree! After seeing his photos, I can totally understand his position!</span>

<p class="xmsonormal">It’s been the law in WA for over 100 years that you can hack away at any parts of the neighbor’s offending tree that cross your property line without any concern for the tree’s wellbeing. It would be nice to think reasonable neighbors
could talk across the branches and figure out a solution satisfactory to both, but alas, that is likely fantasy
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span> Perhaps the tree owner may want to take it down and plant a new one further away from the property line.

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">I received a call from a potential client who has property containing numerous large trees. The tree in question in this matter is fully on his own property but some roots do
extend onto the neighbor's property, of course. The roots have done no damage, but the neighbor has decided to cut the roots at the property line because he doesn't want them on his side of the fence. The PC is concerned that if those very large roots are
cut, it could kill the tree eventually. Even of greater concern is that those are anchoring roots and that tree will no longer be secure and could easily fall onto his house. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">The neighbor is determined to cut the roots. PC would like to know what his legal standing is to 1- prohibit the neighbor from cutting the roots, or 2- what his recourse is should
the roots be cut and the tree dies or falls onto his home. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
