This is probably more of a legal question, but I thought I'd try here...
When a tree falls, and there is no property damage, who has the burden to clean it up? The owner of the land where the tree fell from, or the owner of the land on which the tree fell?
During a recent windstorm, a tree at the edge of my property split and fell in to a neighbors pasture. That fallen piece of tree is almost entirely in the neighbor's property.
You know it was your tree. Clean it up after asking permission of the neighbor to go on the property. Sometimes the legal answer shouldn't matter when it comes to doing the right thing.
But one of our dead trees in Ohio fell and took out a portion of our fence and the neighbor's fence. We had someone scheduled to take the tree down the following week but the remnants of a hurricane decided to do it for us. We did the neighborly thing and mostly took care of it. Cut it up and removed. Replaced the section of his fence(just a 3ft chain link that needed a portion of the top rail replaced) while working on ours.

This. Why should the neighbor have to clean up your mess?
I seriously feel let down when I read stories of neighbors trying to screw neighbors. Man, pick up your tree.
Right. Clean up your own mess, don't be that neighbor.

. if it's good firewood, I'm sure you can get someone to cut it up.
