Impish Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Argh! We have an apple tree in our back yard, against the fence. When we came home yesterday, it was immediately obvious that someone, one of our neighbours, decided to help themselves, and completely picked clean half the tree. I suppose I should be 'grateful' that they didn't come into the yard and clean the whole tree off, just restrained themselves to what's hanging over the fence, but I'm seriously ticked off. Normally, I do enough apple sauce and apple butter to provide for my family for the winter. There's diddly left at all, not that we can reach, so now my family is going to go without b/c of selfish stealing jerks in my neighbourhood. :cursing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmos Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Wait. The branches are hanging over the fence into their yard? Then I'd say they're entitled to the apples. How would you pick them, anyway, without going into their yard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer3141 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think if the tree is hanging over their yard too, that they are legally entitled to those apples. It's probably better to share than have them cut down what's on their property!! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nope, not in their yard. Into a walk way. Nobody's yard. The condo board won't allow us to prune the tree, and won't do it themselves either. We're responsible to keep all the fallen apples cleaned up, etc, so I honestly don't see how its a free for all for anything they can reach from the other side of the fence, its not like anyone picks up the fallen apples, just us. How hard is it to ASK someone if you can pick from their apple tree? Its the total clearance of half the tree that just completely ticks me off. We get all the work from it, but others just take.

Jennifer3141 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The tree is in our fenced yard. The apples that were picked are accessible from outside the fence, so they didn't technically tresspass. At our condo association once you step outside your front step, it's all "common use." Kindness and decency dictate that you don't walk up people's front walks and start cutting their flowers but legally, no one owned anything outside the walls of their home. The condo was only the unit itself. All property technically belongs to the assocation. I love our condo because of the city life but I do take a huge sigh of relief when we come back up here because those are MY darn trees. :grouphug: And we have/had some real wing dings for neighbors.

Renthead Mommy Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 But if it hangs over the common use walkway, then the branches hanging out there are for 'common use'. As for you having to clean up after it, it's your tree. If the neighbor's tree branches hang into my yard, and I don't trim them and they fall on my roof, then it's my problem. But they own the actual tree. If the tree falls on my roof, then it's their problem too. So you own the tree, but by living in a condo, you've agreed to their rules, and they can make up any stupid rules they want. So they don't want to pay to clean up the common area so they just write it into the rules, justifying that it's YOUR tree. Would have been nice to be asked, but if they are in the common area, they really don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I caught my neighbor boy doing the same thing to the people who live behind us. They have 3 apple trees lined up against the back of their property. This boy and his friend were grabbing the apples and then usuing them to throw at each other and at my house. I tore into them pretty good for a)stealing and b) hitting my house with them. The grown man next door has been coming onto my property and stealing my raspberries (and I have caught him twice telling his guests to help themselves, that I don't mind). Umm, yes I do very much mind. I use those berries to make jam and freeze whatever is left. I am not growing them in my yard for them to come in and take them. I only have a chicken wire fence between my house and their's. No back fence, so he is coming around that fence and into my backyard to help himself. He doesn't even wait until I am gone, he will do it while I am in the room looking out the window that overlooks my backyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems kind of crazy. I'd be inclined to very politely inquire of your neighbors about the picked apples. Be super-friendly (that is if you want them to leave you next year's crop anyway) and say how your kids were SO sad and disappointed that half the tree was picked and they had so looked forward to helping make apple butter, etc. I don't think too many people would do it again if you killed them with kindness and a little sob story involving heartbroken kids.

Karen in CO Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 If that had happened to my apples, it would have been a bear that ate them.

Problem is, I don't know who did it. There are 2 neighbours that have asked previous years but they've never cleared off the tree. There are new neighbours though that I honestly figure had a hand in it from other things that have happened. It could have been 1, or all 3. I just don't know. I honestly feel like whoever did it, regardless of 'common space' are jerks to have picked half the tree clean. I mean, common, really? Without so much as the courtesy of asking? I can't wait to be in a situation where stuff on my property is MINE, and I don't have to worry about things being taken/stolen. We've had Princess' tricycle stolen, for pity sakes. And other bikes.

[/b] It is when a condo board wants to write the rules that way. That's life in places like condos and HOA. And most of the time with condos and things you only really "own" at most 3 feet around your house. You get use of the yard attached, and it sells with your house property, but really the condo board has control over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the homeowner gave them permission. We asked him to stop doing that or at least ask us first. After all, when you rent a house, use of the yard comes with it! I can't believe a neighbor would just presume to help himself to your raspberries! I'd stake a dog out there or put up an electric fence. :) Or you could install some kind of speaker and blare loud alarm sounds whenever he steps foot in your yard.

They never ask just help themselves and tell their friends to do the same. Trust me I have thought about getting a big dog. Between this guy, the brat next door and the bully issues (though after having the 1 boy sent to court twice last year, there has been very little of it around my house this summer, and the kids have been having a fairly good summer, every once in a while though 1-3 of the bullies will follow ds around when he is out riding his bike and call him names. They don't go any further than that because they know I will not hesitate in involving the police.) What I need is a robotic big dog. One to guard the yard without all the actual care and attention a real one needs. Either that or I need to build a good fence, but that is going to have to wait another year before I can afford to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) If it hangs over their property line they are legally entitled to take the apples and even to cut the tree back. Look on the bright side, they didn't butcher or kill the tree by cutting it incorrectly. You might look into hiring a good arborist to trim the tree so that it will grow predominantly on your side of the fence. We did this with one of our trees so that the neighbor wouldn't be burdened with picking up leaves and excess shade etc. ok...just figured out that it is overhanging a common area and the assn won't let you prune. That is CRAZY! I'd be so mad at the assn and I'd prune anyway and dare them to do anything about it. ;) Edited August 23, 2011 by 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanne in MN Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 We used to live next to neighbors who had a fence with an apple tree in their yard that hung over the fence and dropped apples into our yard. Call me crazy, but I felt like it was their tree-not mine. We might have used good apples that fell on the ground on our side, but that was it. I wouldn't have dreamed of picking apples without asking first. I think it would be rude to do otherwise. I have no idea of condo living. I think it would probably be ok for them to pick a few apples, but half the tree? That's going a little too far, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britomart Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Where I live, you can actually go online and find maps that detail where fruit trees hang over into public space (sidewalks, etc.) so that you can go and glean free fruit. But, at least here, you can only pick what hangs over the fence. I suppose the laws would be different in a condo, though.

Denise in Florida Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I understand that is the law and all. Just went through something a while back, neighbors tree fell in parents yard my parents had to pay to have it hauled off. Stupid stupid!! We live in a thickly treed (wooded?) neighborhood. Lots and lots of oak tree, pine trees, etc. I try to maintain the trees in my yard but sometimes nature doesn't work according to plan. We had one of our large oaks fall during a hurricane and one of the branches poked a hole in our neighbor's roof. Dh went over in the middle of the storm to help them put a tarp up to prevent water damage but in the end they and their insurance were responsible for the repairs. That's how the insurance etc works. Weirdly enough one of their trees fell and crushed a different neighbor's boat ... I guess it is just luck of the draw and acts of nature.:glare: I try to be a reasonable person I have obvious dead branches or trees removed but you can't always tell. One year I had a healthy tree removed because my other neighbor was afraid of it (it leaned over his son's bedroom) he split the cost. Of course in the OP's case there is a huge difference between accidents you can't control and just plain rude behavior. I would expect a few apples on the 'public' side to be picked but not to have half the tree cleared out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
