Talk to the Neighbor ...or move the garden. It's his property and he has the right to grow whatever the heck he wants to on it. Every bit as much as you have the right to grow the plants in your garden. If the neighbor likes the tree, you are limited to cutting the branches where they cross your property line.

Hypothetically speaking, let's pretend my neighbor has a huge honey locust right next to my fence and garden, sucking water from and shading my garden, and dropping pods in my garden so I have little locust trees coming up as weeds in my garden. If that were to happen, what would be the best way for that tree to accidentally die? I have that situation, except they are tall cottonwoods, several of them, not locust. Oh well, my garden gets afternoon sun.

I have 4 honey locust trees in my yard. They drop a lot of branches when it's windy. Hummingbirds really like their blossoms. I would never plant them. They were there when I bought the place.
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

Might not want to open this can of worms but property lines go straight up....so anything over your line (in the air) is your's to do what you want to with. Be careful with this it is not entirely true everywhere and not in MN for sure. You can legally trim the tree to the property line BUT you cannot cause unreasonable damage to the tree either. Before you kill someones mature tree think on this, the replacement cost of that tree is likely $30,000 plus dollars, if you get caught and sued you will be crucified in court so dont put your families well being at risk over a tree if you cannot afford to! Copper nails will do nothing but create a hazard for the poor chap who has to cut it down someday please do not pound a pile of nails into it! Even if you do and owner has a arborist inspect the tree he will see what happened and you will be on the hook for replacement. My advice is to hire a Arborist to trim the tree back over the property line as much as possible. Occasionally someone will ask me how to kill a tree that is causing damage to septic/house but the CITY will not let them remove the tree, in these instances I recommend digging down near the base of a large root, drill a small hole and drip Tordon into it during cool early morning while the tree is up taking water, obviously recover the spot that was drilled with dirt, tree will be dead shortly. Again I do not advise doing that to your neighbors tree!

If you sprayed Roundup on the branches that are on your side of the fence, would that kill the whole tree ? That will kill the grass in your yard

Was the tree there before you and your garden? Well yes, but the tree isn't growing a garden....the dang pods fall on my property and seed my garden with locust trees.

I'mma do that Liberal thing and claim eminent domain because my interest is more important than her interest. It's got to go. I'll give that goldarn tree an abortion....that should be acceptable to a Liberal.
