Asking Eric: HOA dispute over neighbor’s mango tree on property line

Dear Eric: I’m navigating a tricky neighborly issue and could use your insights. A few years ago, my neighbor planted a mango tree on our property line, which directly violates our HOA’s strict two-foot setback rule for fruit trees.

Now that the tree is growing rapidly, I’m concerned the future fruit will attract pests and create a nuisance. I plan to speak with her soon about the situation, potentially regarding the tree’s removal.
