My new neighbour cut down several large gums which were over 70yrso. Her reason as told by her is "I don't like the leaves". My thought is, why didn't you buy a block without trees then. These blocks are 1/4 acres. The other side keep asking if they can come into my yard and cut the top of my twin forked iron bark so they can build a house closer to the fence. The lopers already killed my 70 foot gum when they were supposedly just trimming off branches on the neighbours side. They already have a home and are planning to develop the block. They cut down trees over 100yrso in their yard, which kolas would come to. To me trees are the lungs of the earth. Poisoning a tree is evil.
What is it that people don't understand. We NEED trees to live and breath and survive on this planet. Isn't it taught to kids around the world that oxygen comes from trees? How do people forget this by the time they become adults? It should be ingrained into our brains as part of our need for survival. I'm so sick of how destructive the human race is. Thank you guys for sharing. 👍
I bought my house because of the three 60 year old black walnut tree's, in the side yard. One of my first neighbors told me I needed to get rid of these magnificent tree's because they are old. I think I said something like h*ll no are you nuts. My other neighbor comes over to pick up black walnuts every year.Then she sends over some of her delicious black walnut fudge. Blessings and may your tree's live long.
@@liveswithgarden6566 Sadly it is not fun to have huge Veterinarian bills from your dog eating black walnuts that attract squirrels who run off and drop them in your yard or bury them in your garden. People need to consider what type of tree they are planting and consequences of that decision.
Unfortunately, you can get a psycho for a neighbor. I had one and he physically threatened me. I wanted to sell and move but my husband refused to let him intimidate us. We have fur babies and I was terrified he would poison them or worse. I was SO happy when they moved. I have AWESOME neighbors now. Heartbreaking that their neighbor poisoned their tree. Watch out, Karma is coming for the neighbor.
i have one of those too, a drug dealer next door but hoa can not do nothing...and we have another a..l on the back street who plays music so so so loud that i can hear it inside my home...three houses down and with doors and windows closed...
I have a neighbor like that. I keep finding chicken bones and grapes in my back yard(I have dogs). She’s been trying to kill my trees too. Has killed about half my flowers. It’s sad a person can be such a way.
she is trying to poison your dogs with the grapes and the chicken bones maybe have something on them...according with the police the only way to proof that the neighboor is dumping stuff on our backyard is to put a concealed camera (trail camera) but not pointed directly to their patio but to show the fence top allowing a view of a face or hands throwing the stuff.. @@sam12587
That Walnut tree being 100 years old, I’m sure was there long before any of the surrounding homes were built. I could understand neighbors being upset if the tree was planted afterwards, but when you buy a house you need to look at the surrounding landscapes of the other yards first. Poisoning an old tree like that is absolutely criminal in my opinion. I am a tree lover, but when we were looking at buying a house, we really liked this one house, but neighbors on both sides had tall pine trees that were so close, it posed a safety hazard to the house we were looking to buy. So, we bought another home where we didn’t have to depend on a neighbor to trim their trees up. We have trees in our own yard that we control and they don’t endanger our house or our neighbors houses.
Criminal to poison anything on your neighbor's property. That said, as a former landscaper I can say not all trees are for all places. Black walnut in particular can ruin the soil for a long distance off for other landscaping and vegetable gardens. They can cause sticky stains on vehicles and concrete as well. Think before you plant trees. Think before putting them too close to structures, sewer pipelines and houses. Consider the potential shape, size and growing habit of the individual species.
I agree with you on this, however the trees in my yard are not close to the house. Gum trees can also make it difficult to grow whatever you like. I resolved this problem by researching what will grow. Natives was the answer, but not all natives are compatible. Thank you for sharing this.
I feel bad for the tree, but i am thinking for other neighbors. The wind will blow thousand leaves to neighbors and they have to clean it daily. Its roots also damage plumming and gas/electrical lines. Trees are beautiful but if it is in a wrong place, they could be a night mare for neighbors. The yard is too small for this giant tree. You have to do soil test to prove it is poisoned. Some poison are very toxic for human and animals. It stays in soil for ever. The fruit trees around it got poison too. Do not eat their fruits.
Taking a black walnut out on my property, close to the house and intertwined with a pecan. Large enough it put off a heck of a crop of messy funky walnuts this past fall, small enough I’ll be able to rope it here and there to get it down but not on my house.

I think this was a masterclass on three guys who knew what they were doing and worked together to remove this tree. As for the neighbour, I have no words. I feel sad for the children who played here and the owner of the tree. Great job by the guys who did this.
That in it's self is a lawsuit. Now can the neighbors say what that tree done to them? No. They r just mean nd nasty neighbors. SUE THEM ND C HOW THEY FEEL POISONING A TREE THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THEM.
Somebody would love to have these wood pieces...artisans can do wonderful things with this wood. So sad to see this wonderful old tree poisoned and demolished....but you guys did a fantastic job of removing it!
Does anyone know the value of this wood? I don’t know if it’s a black walnut tree. Could the neighbor be held liable for value? I’m sure there would need to be incontrovertible evidence that they poisoned it. I read walnut trees mature at 150 years and can live for 250 years or more. Heartbreaking that anyone would deliberately kill it.
We had to cut down a nearly 100 year old beautiful Cedar... it lost some big branches in a storm and was in danger to fall towards the road. We needed an official permission to do so! By cutting it we found out that it started to rot from the inside. We gave away ALL the wood to people who wanted it and only kept the leftover branches as firewood. My whole basement is smelling so good! Every time I pass the stump of that tree I say thank you...😊
This 100-year old tree probably was the original one planted years ago and lived peacefully in miles and miles of acreage until developments were sold to new people to build their new houses. Most likely a beautiful place 100 years ago until the 1950s. Sadly, some neighbors do not communicate to their fence line neighbors that they have a problem. Again, sadly, this neighbor who poisoned this 100-year walnut tree probably purchased his/her property next to this tree knowing that this monument-of-a-tree existed on their fence line. It is a grave fault to have poisoned this tree or any living thing. I do not know the details, and celebrate that "Lawn Men" did a safe and fabulous job of downing the tree. As shown in the video, they protected fencing, removed the tree house, and dealt with nails during their work. Thank you for your excellent work. An fan from Northern California
Nails can have a detrimental affect on trees. Trees grow around metal objects and bleed when metal objects are pounded into them. I wonder what kind of "poison" was used, Glysophates?
Btw! Did the neighbor who poisoned the tree ever come out while yaw were cutting down that walnut tree? That was a beautiful tree nd now it was useless. So shamed on that bad neighbor.
@@bamiller7229Y'all is a southern US term. Not everyone says you all (where y'all came from) some parts of the US say Youse. Pretty sure this is in New Zealand anyway.
That tree has been dead for years. Looks like the pruning may have damaged it because there doesn’t seem to be much new growth afterward. How would a tree guy know a long dead tree has been poisoned? Surely the residuals would be long gone. But hey, I’m just a Yank. 🇺🇸
Professional? Ha,buddy is climbing around the treewith a ball cap on,no hard hat,no climbing gear,cutting straight through the wood at angles so you have no control over where it’s gonna fall oh,and the guy at the beginning calling chainsaw chains,blades😆
What a shame to kill an old tree. Walnut trees can be messy, but surely a compromise could have been reached. Perfect that didn’t work and the neighbor had just had it.
I have a fire bowl and would have considered dropped branches free firewood, stacked it and moved on with my day. Don't know why people think the neighbors house is a better view than a tree (especially that tree, must have been stunning) but here we are.
We had to cut down the native black walnut I planted many decades ago. The juglone it produces is toxic to a lot of plants in its vicinity, even the grass wasn’t growing around it and when the roots reached the vegetable garden, it killed my veggies. I tried planting tolerant plants near there but, no luck. Was sad to see it go but, it was killing the rest of the vegetation around it and the walnuts were mostly enjoyed by the wildlife who always beat me at picking them off! It was a hard choice…
The neighbor should be held accountable in a court of law with heavy fine and jail time. I wonder what was their problem with the tree that they felt it had to come down. Just my opinion is that it should be a world-wide law against cutting down a tree just because you don't like it. These magnificent trees were placed here on earth for a reason: 1) to cut down carbon and purify the air, 2) to provide shelter and food for Gods fur babies, and 3) to add beauty to our world. My neighbor got with my husband and had our huge pecan cut down. He said it had been struck by lightning and was rotten at the core. It had to be over a 100 years old. When it was cut down it was solid as a rock.
I love trees so it is sad for me to hear someone took the liberty to poison such beautiful tree. I wish people would instruct themselves about the importance of growing and protecting trees. Our lives depends on it.
Excellent job. Enjoyed watching the process. Could the bottom of the tree have been transformed into a planter or bird bath if it wasn't cut to the ground? Always thought something useful could be salvaged.
Я бы тоже оставила нижнюю часть, примерно 1 метр высоты. Убрать старую кору, и использовать как инсталяцию. Или выше оставить, и как тренажёр для лазанья детям.
I doubt it was the neighbors. That treehouse is decades old and probably someone had put those in while building it. It just took a long time for the tree to die off.
Trees can survive wast quantities of nails whit out even being effected by them. There are some kinds of nails however, that can and will kill a tree rapidly. Not gonna say what since some effers would use that knowledge to cause harm. But then, there is also other ways to kill of trees. Chemicals, minerales, deliberate damage to certain parts of the tree. certain damage to trees ect. They just said Poisioned, and that could mean many different things in this context, so it might not nessesarly be the nails in the tree.
That was my question also. I would be pi$$ off if that was done to a tree in my yard. It seems something could have been worked out between the 2 home owners.
Also why would someone build a treehouse in a 100 year old tree banging all those nails into the trunk? No doubt that may have opened the tree up to rot and damage. Who knows.
Using one of those pump weed sprayers, that you can get at the hardware store. They spray pretty far once you pump them. A neighbour did this to another neighbour's old rose bushes and crabapple tree. She was not mentally well, and we were all glad when the family had her placed in a facility. She was a danger to herself and others.
I hope some wood turners got some of this tree. Sorry to see it come down but I can only imagine the frustration the neighbors went through cleaning up debris from it. You guys did an amazing job taking it down. I hear a chainsaw and I run the other way. Not afraid of the saw but not knowing if the person using it knows what he is doing.
No one is going to want it with the nail issue, hazardous and expensive on equipment. Yard trees are famous for having this problem, years of bird feeders, badminton nets, whirligigs and clotheslines etc.
PGTips sad to see the tree go !!! We love our trees I have a huge sycamore at the bottom of my garden belongs to neighbour all I ask is to look after your trees and have them pollarded not destroyed ☝️🥰
Went by a house I grew up in. It was built right after WWII. At the time we lived there, the ‘70’s the historical society was trying to get it on the historical registry. Couldn’t believe what I saw. 2006 and the new owners had removed a huge walnut tree and the cherry near it……to put up a carport
Besides, why would anyone build a 'playhouse' around a living growing tree? Logic dictates that either the tree will destroy the playhouse as it grows or the play house will kill the tree causing the destruction of the playhouse.
Excellent job on the tree removal. Especially cutting that trunk to the ground. I did think if some had been left it would make an interesting space for planters, bird feeders or even yard ornaments. Some nice pieces of wood there that could make some cool stuff.
That in my mind is a vicious crime! 100 years old and a Walnut tree too! If it were me I would be devastated! That tree was probably there before the houses were built! It probably had a TPO on it also.
wow, walnuts are hard to kill. ah, dang, if those nails are copper, that'd kill it. that was an amazing tree. Such a shame the neighbor did that. Hope the homeowner makes the neighbor pay for the removal. So messed up. Great job dropping that monster. I have a mulberry that is almost the same size/configuration: huge trunk till about 1.5 meters then 4 limbs larger than many trees spreading just like this. Though I never had a spiffy tree house in it the tree also went up as well as out.
there is a law protecting the ancient walnut trees, depending on the state...find out if those trees were or are protected and if you have proo f that the neighbors killed the tree with ill intention then call the authorities...jail time please.
Well, sadly, the walnut tree died. Four nails? I doubt it. If you were sure that's your neighbours work, I would have done them "a favor" and NOT remove the tree. They should be reminded of their stupidest idea for a very, very long time. Furthermore, even the dead tree serves as habitat for loads of species/ insects. e.g. the rare Blue woodsaw bee!
Why dont they cut a notch first then cut it through? Instead of a straight cut? Seems like it takes longer this way. But overall I enjoyed watching all your hard work!
Replace it with a walnut tree get the biggest one you can find and take them to court and make them pay for every penny you spent and the cost to replace the tree, remove the tree and the cost to rebuild the play house . Every single thing you need to replace that was destroyed to get the tree out of the ground and the roots removed so you could replace the tree.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 The Neighbours who did this but what I fail to understand is when? Given that the top of the tree was lopped out by the owner, and all branches of the tree were fully contained within their lot How did they get access to the tree to poison it. As all the other shrubbery round the tree and adjoining property were lush and green. I reckon the the cubby houses stopped water absorbing to the trees roots , and drought have killed it off over time.
Remember growing up our family knew all our neighbours we spent all day outside with each other the kids stayed at each other houses our parents went out together it was great nowadays you don't even look at the neighbours them more than likely Muslim and they don't intergrate its not allowed and when the husband is drunk on whiskey and jes beating his wife her screams can be heard through the walls yes the country as changed.a lot since I was a kid
We don't need a walnut tree in town I've put up with one next door for 63 years besides the mess and stain on my sidewalk the squirrels ate the walnuts on my tree. We had to have my 30 year old river birch cut down
In portland OR in 1978 a tree was killed by methyl bromide - the owners had the tree cut down and a 24 foot replacement planted near the same spot. The neighbors (that killed the tree) tried to stop the re-planting - even filing a lawsuit. They were met with a $40k lawsuit lost and as their only asset was the house they lost it. However it took 2 years to get to trial. They claimed the MB was to kill moles and didn't know it would kill the tree. However as they had written a letter to the neighbors 6 months earlier telling them to remove the tree or they would sue the Jury didn't believe them.
Huh, I wonder why they think the neighbors did it? Sometimes, it can happen accidentally. It's dangerous to throw around accusations without proof. Did the neighbors admit to it? So many questions. Tree removal is fascinating. Men have been seriously injured by nails in trees! ❤
I purchased a nice home in North Carolina and in between signing the deal and settling the deal (abouit 30 days), the next door neighbor hired a tree company to come in and cut down a huge 58 inches in diameter) tree in the back yard near the property line but clearly well on my side. When I confronted them they admitted to doing it and said they didn't like the tree because it dropped leaves on their side. I called police and they ticketed the woman. It's against the law to encroach like that in NC but nothing ever came of it. I should have sued but didn't have much money and had other priorities at the time.
I don’t know what state this in but in California you need a permit to take down a tree I hope they sue the Mariah or and make them pay for tearing the tree down and any other expenses. Like destroying a tree house. I’m sure that wasn’t cheap to build. They should have an arborist give a price on a beautiful walnut tree like that with m sure it was worth a pretty penny. They also need to pay to replace the tree. This could end up costing them thousands of dollars. They had no right killing your tree. I really hope you make them pay for it. I’m sure you have documentation of them company nt about the tree which is probably why the poisoned it because they wanted it gone. They don’t have the right to come into your yard and destroy your property.
@@amandaerickson8778 I wondered how someone poisons a tree The surrounding growth looked healthy. Don't worry about the response. Too me most questions are worthy and deserve a worthy answer.
Wait until night or homeowners have gone out for the day, hop the fence and tap a couple of copper nails into the trunk at the base of the tree. Common complaint in tree law cases, he showed the nails at the beginning of the video.
Surely the tree has been there longer than the person responsible for killing it. There should be a law to protect these trees from people whose brain is way deep their ass. That person should be liable for killing the tree.
My f’ing old guy neighbor who had 6 wives that we know of! Poisoned my little puuy willow because he didn’t like the leaves! Plus he thought I planted the tree on his property. His grass grew onto MY PROPERTY! We had the property line re marked and we put up a rocket little wall. He was sick! He thought he had 5 feet more property than he did! He finally moved to a condo where he belongs!!
Once a tree is dead and dying it becomes a hazard and a huge liability. What one has to do is get a written statement from a certified arborist, notify the property owner of the hazard, and file a injunction with the court to remove the hazard. The property owner, knowing the hazard existed and refused to remedy will be fully responsible for civil and criminal damages for injury, death, and property damages as a result of their negligence.
I watched your video from beginning to end and I can see that your team worked very hard at removing this tree but, I was very sad to see it go. Everyone knows the value of trees especially the very old ones so I won't get on a 'Soapbox' here. I will just pray that some day when all those who poisoned it are gone one of the Walnuts it gifted the planet with will grow another beautiful tree.
It seems to me that there are law's preventing busy bodies like that. If it can be proven that the neighbors are guilty it seems like they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! Furthermore if convicted, they should be liable for the full cost of the tree removal and any other damages!
To kill a tree with poison of that size, would take a lot of poison. You would be able to smell it in the dirt. I’d be interested in finding out the results of the test to see if it was really poisoned. We removed two trees in our yard, that were that big and old and in the city they hardly ever live to be 100 years old. Love from Canada.
I'm no expert on trees but I have always been told to not pound a bunch of nails in a tree for the nails can kill the tree. True or false, I saw at least 4 huge nails in that tree in the video, im happy the guys didn't hit them with their chainsaw. It could have been nasty. Just sayin' Great job guys! Interesting work indeed!
Neighbours. Some are great, some a pain, but the worst is the backstabber. All smiles at front, poisoning plants on the sly. Police often say its a civil matter unless video proof or multiple witnesses.
My new neighbour cut down several large gums which were over 70yrso. Her reason as told by her is "I don't like the leaves". My thought is, why didn't you buy a block without trees then.

gums are legally protected in Australia, go to the council. They can tell you if someone poisoned it.

Firstly, someone else's tree can be a nightmare for a neighbor. I have lived this myself.
Rick it is not nice to yell at people. That's what all caps mean. One day you may understand.

@@bamiller7229Y'all is a southern US term. Not everyone says you all (where y'all came from) some parts of the US say Youse. Pretty sure this is in New Zealand anyway.
OMG 😢that is just horrible 😭😔 just criminal!! Sue them!!!
This makes me mad people need to be charged for this😡🤬
That tree has been dead for years. Looks like the pruning may have damaged it because there doesn’t seem to be much new growth afterward. How would a tree guy know a long dead tree has been poisoned? Surely the residuals would be long gone. But hey, I’m just a Yank. 🇺🇸
My thoughts exactly. Bark separation like that doesn’t happen in one season.
🤗🥰WOW ! What an excellent professional job , Y’all did there 🙏🏼God bless you as you work and we wish you a 🎄🎁MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎉
Professional? Ha,buddy is climbing around the treewith a ball cap on,no hard hat,no climbing gear,cutting straight through the wood at angles so you have no control over where it’s gonna fall oh,and the guy at the beginning calling chainsaw chains,blades😆
What a shame to kill an old tree. Walnut trees can be messy, but surely a compromise could have been reached. Perfect that didn’t work and the neighbor had just had it.
I have a fire bowl and would have considered dropped branches free firewood, stacked it and moved on with my day. Don't know why people think the neighbors house is a better view than a tree (especially that tree, must have been stunning) but here we are.
We had to cut down the native black walnut I planted many decades ago. The juglone it produces is toxic to a lot of plants in its vicinity, even the grass wasn’t growing around it and when the roots reached the vegetable garden, it killed my veggies. I tried planting tolerant plants near there but, no luck. Was sad to see it go but, it was killing the rest of the vegetation around it and the walnuts were mostly enjoyed by the wildlife who always beat me at picking them off! It was a hard choice…
The neighbor should be held accountable in a court of law with heavy fine and jail time. I wonder what was their problem with the tree that they felt it had to come down. Just my opinion is that it should be a world-wide law against cutting down a tree just because you don't like it. These magnificent trees were placed here on earth for a reason: 1) to cut down carbon and purify the air, 2) to provide shelter and food for Gods fur babies, and 3) to add beauty to our world. My neighbor got with my husband and had our huge pecan cut down. He said it had been struck by lightning and was rotten at the core. It had to be over a 100 years old. When it was cut down it was solid as a rock.
I love trees so it is sad for me to hear someone took the liberty to poison such beautiful tree.
I wish people would instruct themselves about the importance of growing and protecting trees. Our lives depends on it.
Excellent job. Enjoyed watching the process. Could the bottom of the tree have been transformed into a planter or bird bath if it wasn't cut to the ground? Always thought something useful could be salvaged.
Я бы тоже оставила нижнюю часть, примерно 1 метр высоты. Убрать старую кору, и использовать как инсталяцию. Или выше оставить, и как тренажёр для лазанья детям.
😅😅😅
Trabajo muy profesional , felicitaciones .Espero.ocupen esa madera hermosa en algo 💪👏👏👍❤🎄🎅
I have a black walnut counter top in my kitchen. Absolutely beautiful. I agree those neighbors need to pay for what they did.
I doubt it was the neighbors. That treehouse is decades old and probably someone had put those in while building it. It just took a long time for the tree to die off.
Trees can survive wast quantities of nails whit out even being effected by them. There are some kinds of nails however, that can and will kill a tree rapidly. Not gonna say what since some effers would use that knowledge to cause harm.
But then, there is also other ways to kill of trees. Chemicals, minerales, deliberate damage to certain parts of the tree. certain damage to trees ect. They just said Poisioned, and that could mean many different things in this context, so it might not nessesarly be the nails in the tree.
Awesome job. Such a great video❤❤❤❤
Now how did someone poison this tree inside the fence? Just curious about that.
That was my question also. I would be pi$$ off if that was done to a tree in my yard.
It seems something could have been worked out between the 2 home owners.
Also why would someone build a treehouse in a 100 year old tree banging all those nails into the trunk? No doubt that may have opened the tree up to rot and damage. Who knows.
You are assuming that the one owning the tree can respect you, which isn't the case.@@countrytxrose
Using one of those pump weed sprayers, that you can get at the hardware store. They spray pretty far once you pump them. A neighbour did this to another neighbour's old rose bushes and crabapple tree. She was not mentally well, and we were all glad when the family had her placed in a facility. She was a danger to herself and others.
I am confused,was it poisoned by a neighbour or by children knocking nails in by the tree house?
What a teamwork very nice clean job sorry about the tree house kids had fun 👍✅🪥🪥🪥
Awesome job guys!!!
That is so sad for someone to poison a tree like that. That's horrible they should do something about its criminal
Great job. But such a pity to see an old tree poisened
I hope some wood turners got some of this tree. Sorry to see it come down but I can only imagine the frustration the neighbors went through cleaning up debris from it. You guys did an amazing job taking it down. I hear a chainsaw and I run the other way. Not afraid of the saw but not knowing if the person using it knows what he is doing.
No one is going to want it with the nail issue, hazardous and expensive on equipment. Yard trees are famous for having this problem, years of bird feeders, badminton nets, whirligigs and clotheslines etc.
PGTips sad to see the tree go !!! We love our trees I have a huge sycamore at the bottom of my garden belongs to neighbour all I ask is to look after your trees and have them pollarded not destroyed ☝️🥰
You guys do a great job!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Went by a house I grew up in. It was built right after WWII. At the time we lived there, the ‘70’s the historical society was trying to get it on the historical registry. Couldn’t believe what I saw. 2006 and the new owners had removed a huge walnut tree and the cherry near it……to put up a carport
So sorry about this tree, but the wood is good for a fireplace EXCELLENT WORK GUYS
The neighbor who poisoned the tree should be forced to foot the bill to remove and replace the tree.
Besides, why would anyone build a 'playhouse' around a living growing tree? Logic dictates that either the tree will destroy the playhouse as it grows or the play house will kill the tree causing the destruction of the playhouse.
Excellent job on the tree removal. Especially cutting that trunk to the ground. I did think if some had been left it would make an interesting space for planters, bird feeders or even yard ornaments. Some nice pieces of wood there that could make some cool stuff.
Fantastic team work - Great job.
Excellent work! True professionals.
How do you know the neighbor did it? Making such an accusation in any type of media without proof is libelous.
She doesn't mention which neighbour and she potentially has 4 ...so 🤷
Well done, a lot of hard work 🙌🙌🙌
That in my mind is a vicious crime! 100 years old and a Walnut tree too! If it were me I would be devastated! That tree was probably there before the houses were built! It probably had a TPO on it also.
Great video 👍
I can smell that wood from here. Love black walnut trees. I want planted under one.
Very difficult task but you people did an amazing job 💪👍
Ppl are horrible, why would you, lovely tree!
Yo best lawn men in town highly recommended
wow, walnuts are hard to kill. ah, dang, if those nails are copper, that'd kill it. that was an amazing tree. Such a shame the neighbor did that. Hope the homeowner makes the neighbor pay for the removal. So messed up. Great job dropping that monster. I have a mulberry that is almost the same size/configuration: huge trunk till about 1.5 meters then 4 limbs larger than many trees spreading just like this. Though I never had a spiffy tree house in it the tree also went up as well as out.
Unbelievable, poisoning the Walnut, $ 12,000, would of been paid by a wood Turner / furniture baker, such a waste
Make some cool coffee tables..etc..and cutting boards.great job!!😊
there is a law protecting the ancient walnut trees, depending on the state...find out if those trees were or are protected and if you have proo f that the neighbors killed the tree with ill intention then call the authorities...jail time please.
Well, sadly, the walnut tree died. Four nails? I doubt it.
If you were sure that's your neighbours work, I would have done them "a favor" and NOT remove the tree. They should be reminded of their stupidest idea for a very, very long time.
Furthermore, even the dead tree serves as habitat for loads of species/ insects. e.g. the rare Blue woodsaw bee!
The neighbors should have paid for its removal since it's their fault.
Horrible Neighbor . Did they pay to have it removed? Just despicable selfish neighbor.
Neighbour should be sued for the value of the tree, the cost to have all this work done, plus the cost to re-landscape the area
Some furniture maker or wood turner is going to love love love that wood!
Why dont they cut a notch first then cut it through? Instead of a straight cut? Seems like it takes longer this way. But overall I enjoyed watching all your hard work!
Replace it with a walnut tree get the biggest one you can find and take them to court and make them pay for every penny you spent and the cost to replace the tree, remove the tree and the cost to rebuild the play house . Every single thing you need to replace that was destroyed to get the tree out of the ground and the roots removed so you could replace the tree.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 The Neighbours who did this but what I fail to understand is when? Given that the top of the tree was lopped out by the owner, and all branches of the tree were fully contained within their lot How did they get access to the tree to poison it. As all the other shrubbery round the tree and adjoining property were lush and green. I reckon the the cubby houses stopped water absorbing to the trees roots , and drought have killed it off over time.
Remember growing up our family knew all our neighbours we spent all day outside with each other the kids stayed at each other houses our parents went out together it was great nowadays you don't even look at the neighbours them more than likely Muslim and they don't intergrate its not allowed and when the husband is drunk on whiskey and jes beating his wife her screams can be heard through the walls yes the country as changed.a lot since I was a kid
We don't need a walnut tree in town I've put up with one next door for 63 years besides the mess and stain on my sidewalk the squirrels ate the walnuts on my tree. We had to have my 30 year old river birch cut down
In portland OR in 1978 a tree was killed by methyl bromide - the owners had the tree cut down and a 24 foot replacement planted near the same spot. The neighbors (that killed the tree) tried to stop the re-planting - even filing a lawsuit. They were met with a $40k lawsuit lost and as their only asset was the house they lost it. However it took 2 years to get to trial. They claimed the MB was to kill moles and didn't know it would kill the tree. However as they had written a letter to the neighbors 6 months earlier telling them to remove the tree or they would sue the Jury didn't believe them.
Looks like wedges would be a big help 😮❤
Huh, I wonder why they think the neighbors did it? Sometimes, it can happen accidentally. It's dangerous to throw around accusations without proof. Did the neighbors admit to it? So many questions. Tree removal is fascinating. Men have been seriously injured by nails in trees! ❤
They had a tree expert in and they analysed the wood. That'sxwhy they think that.
Мої вітання👋🇺🇦
Молодці хлопці ви чудова команда👍💪
Excellent job ❤👏👏👏
Hi! About the tree, It looks like Texan root rot... It is a disease that affects this type of trees...
They hired someone to test the tree. It was poisoned.
I purchased a nice home in North Carolina and in between signing the deal and settling the deal (abouit 30 days), the next door neighbor hired a tree company to come in and cut down a huge 58 inches in diameter) tree in the back yard near the property line but clearly well on my side. When I confronted them they admitted to doing it and said they didn't like the tree because it dropped leaves on their side. I called police and they ticketed the woman. It's against the law to encroach like that in NC but nothing ever came of it. I should have sued but didn't have much money and had other priorities at the time.
Walnut makes gorgeous furniture
This was interesting to watch. I haven’t seen one being taken down before.
That’s so sad
Excellent job, a new subscriber.
I don’t know what state this in but in California you need a permit to take down a tree I hope they sue the Mariah or and make them pay for tearing the tree down and any other expenses. Like destroying a tree house. I’m sure that wasn’t cheap to build.
They should have an arborist give a price on a beautiful walnut tree like that with m sure it was worth a pretty penny. They also need to pay to replace the tree. This could end up costing them thousands of dollars. They had no right killing your tree.
I really hope you make them pay for it. I’m sure you have documentation of them company nt about the tree which is probably why the poisoned it because they wanted it gone. They don’t have the right to come into your yard and destroy your property.
Great job
Curious how someone poisons a tree behind a fence and no one sees them?
Your pretty naive if you can't figure that out
@@JohnMead-lk2wu well most of us don’t go around planning and carrying out tree poison. Thanks for your informative response.
@@amandaerickson8778 I wondered how someone poisons a tree The surrounding growth looked healthy. Don't worry about the response. Too me most questions are worthy and deserve a worthy answer.
Wait until night or homeowners have gone out for the day, hop the fence and tap a couple of copper nails into the trunk at the base of the tree. Common complaint in tree law cases, he showed the nails at the beginning of the video.
@@terramarini6880 I saw the nails but didn’t think anything about it.
Surely the tree has been there longer than the person responsible for killing it. There should be a law to protect these trees from people whose brain is way deep their ass. That person should be liable for killing the tree.
My f’ing old guy neighbor who had 6 wives that we know of! Poisoned my little puuy willow because he didn’t like the leaves! Plus he thought I planted the tree on his property. His grass grew onto MY PROPERTY! We had the property line re marked and we put up a rocket little wall. He was sick! He thought he had 5 feet more property than he did! He finally moved to a condo where he belongs!!
Once a tree is dead and dying it becomes a hazard and a huge liability. What one has to do is get a written statement from a certified arborist, notify the property owner of the hazard, and file a injunction with the court to remove the hazard. The property owner, knowing the hazard existed and refused to remedy will be fully responsible for civil and criminal damages for injury, death, and property damages as a result of their negligence.
I watched your video from beginning to end and I can see that your team worked very hard at removing this tree but, I was very sad to see it go. Everyone knows the value of trees especially the very old ones so I won't get on a 'Soapbox' here. I will just pray that some day when all those who poisoned it are gone one of the Walnuts it gifted the planet with will grow another beautiful tree.
Beautiful thoughts, thank you.
It seems to me that there are law's preventing busy bodies like that. If it can be proven that the neighbors are guilty it seems like they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! Furthermore if convicted, they should be liable for the full cost of the tree removal and any other damages!
I think that beautiful tree would have been more like 200 years old.
They should have criminal proceedings against them and pay for the replacement of an estimated value, probably in excess of £50,000...
To kill a tree with poison of that size, would take a lot of poison. You would be able to smell it in the dirt. I’d be interested in finding out the results of the test to see if it was really poisoned. We removed two trees in our yard, that were that big and old and in the city they hardly ever live to be 100 years old. Love from Canada.
I'm no expert on trees but I have always been told to not pound a bunch of nails in a tree for the nails can kill the tree. True or false, I saw at least 4 huge nails in that tree in the video, im happy the guys didn't hit them with their chainsaw. It could have been nasty. Just sayin'
Great job guys! Interesting work indeed!
Iron not so bad but copper nails kill trees.
I'm thinking that by them showing the nails that that was the culprit of the poisoning. Copper will kill any tree quickly. @@LloydBrodrick-ne5ei
Were the neighbors prosecuted?
Neighbours. Some are great, some a pain, but the worst is the backstabber. All smiles at front, poisoning plants on the sly. Police often say its a civil matter unless video proof or multiple witnesses.
