    At least discuss it with him. Could you get it cut back to the fence line?

      Definitely couldn’t get it cut back behind the fence line and it’s rough 15-20 meters tall so it wouldn’t help as the bark and leaves are primarily coming from their side as it’s shedding + wind. It’s a lovely tree too filled with birds so it’s not something I’d even want cutting back. I probably should discuss it with him and maybe I could fit some tall netting. I know my rental providers would be fine with it and he would be, but there’s gotta be a better way of dealing with this. Spitballing: even a leaf blower would just push the problem on to someone else which isn’t fair. Gahhh, my poor chillis covered in bark.

        Would you guys be able to go halvies on a garden maintenance service/leaf removal whenever it gets bad?

        I know some councils have garden waste collections but I get not wanting to deal with it

          It’s a good suggestion and probably viable, I might give it a go. But at the point I’d probably just pay for it all to save the discussion. I’m just frustrated that it’s a rental and already too expensive so spending more money on something that isn’t mine to solve a problem that isn’t of my own creation just feels wrong.
