What is a nuisance tree?
Minnesota Statutes define a nuisance as: “Anything which is an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property is a nuisance.” Branches that rub against the neighbor’s roof, tree roots that push up a sidewalk or a tree whose trunk is on your neighbor’s property but leans far into your yard and prevents your use of a corner of your lot can be defined as a nuisance.
