As a general rule, every person is entitled to use their property in any way they want, provided the property is used in such a manner as to not injure others. Growths such as trees, bushes, and hedges, by their branches or roots, may invade the property rights of an adjoining owner and a falling tree raises the issue of negligence. The owner of the tree is generally liable for damages caused to the adjoining property owner.
