IT'S arguably one of the biggest things that neighbours row about.
But one woman has been left fuming after her next door neighbour went a bit too far while trimming the overhanging branches on her tree.
In a post on Mumsnet, the woman wrote: "Neighbour has cut my tree… a lot!"
She added: "How much is usual? I know they can trim overhanging branches, (but) they've gone right to the top of the tree."
However, while the woman – who also added a picture of the newly-trimmed tree – was incensed about the situation, others insisted it was the neighbour's right to cut back anything overhanging.
"Looks like they've just done the bits that overhang. They can cut it," one wrote.

"It's a dangerous thing to do though because obviously the tree is out of balance and can be destabilised, depending on what tree it is.
"It would have been polite of them to consult you and agree something a bit safer in advance."
"It looks like they've cut what was over hanging – I'd say you need to trim your side to balance it out now!" another comment read.
While someone else raged: "If you had maintained it they wouldn't have needed to.
"It's selfish to have trees overhanging your neighbours."
But the woman hit back at the comments, writing: "If I even up the other side, there will be no tree left, seriously, it's half the tree they've lopped off!
"Because of the way I've blocked out the surrounding houses you can't tell, but I am left with half a tree.
"There's no way to even up the mess. I'll just have to live and learn to love my half a tree."
However, there were a few comments on the woman's side, with one writing: "Op I feel your pain /anger.
"Currently waiting for the council planning man to arrive after next door neighbour had our tree butchered.
