We have a Red Maple in the back garden. They get big.. but not as big as the Christmas tree next to it. Like 35 foot high and towering over next doors garden. Bloody trees.. they are OK but not close to your property. Get the chainsaw out at the first moment of disobedience I say.
Oh yeah, behind the kids playhouse we have a Christmas tree which is so big that it sheds stuff into my neighbours gutters. He hates it. Lol.
But yes, disobedience requires the chainsaw!!
