The neighbour from the ground floor appartment of where I live has taken it upon himself to plant 2 huge palm trees on the pavement by his gate. Problem with that is its going to not only block my views from my veranda, but also sunlight coming in.

Is there anything that I can do about this, legally or illegally? basically, want the trees gone, be it through killing them or through some other channels.

Anyone have ideas on who to contact, or know of a good method to destroy these trees?

you want to kill the innocent trees that help make clean oxygen for you to breathe?
what if you fed them clorox?

I believe you have to cross palms with silver.
Or something like that…

Hazza, if they are on the pavement surely the local council should be involved. If they are on private property then there may be something in your deeds about right to light etc. If you intend to poison them do it soon, he will think that they did not survive replanting, in my experience large trees often do not like being moved. Sodium Chlorate is very effective but it stays in the soil for months, try Googling how to kill a tree.

As far as I can make out there's little you can do about it other than making sure the tree doesn't survive .

There are no right to light regulations as in the UK in Cyprus.

Hazza, don't rip up the trees. They are great. and you can always see through palms trees anyway they are not generally busshy. Trees are great and if you drive a car let me tell you, you need to plan at least 1000 trees to suck up the emissions of your car alone. Leave them be. Please pretty please

[GorillaGal]

yeah, i'm thinking rejoice in the trees! you couldn't have them if you were back in the UK. be happy!

When you say 'plant' do you mean in tubs or actually between the paving slabs?

If the former, you could just move them. If the latter,(surely this is illegal?!?!?) ask your neighbour if he could re-plant into pots, making them mobile and therefore solve the problem, yes? They will then be of limited growth and hopefully only disrupt his light, views etc.

Please, do not kill the trees under any circumstances

Good luck!

He literally removed paving slabs to plant the trees into the ground, using rope to tie then to his fence to keep them upright.

Its easy to say don't kill the trees, but they won't be blocking sunlight and views from your appartment. With power lines directly above them, it can cause problems with the electricity.

I do agree, palm trees are nice, but be fair about this. When it comes to selling the appartment further down the line, the value will drop as there will be no light coming in and won't be able to see anything outside.

not everyone's tastes are the same. the shade from the tree keeps you apartment a little darker and cooler. that sounds like someone out there would like that.
maybe aiden.
he seems to be living in the dark ages, and this way he won't be able to see all the people on the street that he will pass judgment on and condem to hell. yeah, sell your apaprtment to aiden.
