Our Neighbor Poisoned Our Mulberry Tree, What Should We Do? (chicago)
Location: Chicago, IL
One of our neighbors reached over the fence to drill holes in a mulberry tree and inject herbicide because he doesn't like the mulberries falling on his yard.
This tree is huge, probably around 70+ y/o, and fairly healthy, it is fully on our property.
This man has also been spraying our fence & property line with herbicide chemicals because he doesn't like the ivy growing on his side (killed a whole chunk of the ivy, rooted on our side). He made no effort to have the branches overhanging his property trimmed, and you can very clearly see the angle of drilling in relation to the fence height. We took photos & video to document the damage and proximity to the fence.
What should we do to press charges or file a lawsuit against him?
This seemed to have happened a few days ago, and the tree is already showing signs of injury/dying.
In an attempt to reduce injury, I cleared & flushed the holes and tapped some dowels in. The dowels also clearly show the drilling angles (11 holes total)
