Depending where you are, this could open a whole can of legal worms for you. I’d avoid addressing this issue like this and simply talk to your neighbor.

Did this. Neighbor was emphatic that anything on my side of the property line is my problem to deal with. That’s why I want the salt. The tree overhangs our back patio and drops seedlings everywhere in our decorative gravel. So I want to salt that area to prevent anything growing back and I’d like to mist everything hanging over our property with salt water until it dies. You got any particular tips on salinity for maximum plant toxicity?

Or … you could accept that nature is part of our life as a species and stop being an asshole over your “pRopErTy LinE”.

Nature is fine. I got my roses out front, the succulents in their planters, jade tree in it’s planter out back, more wildflowers in their planters, etc. Tore out the ivy out back a while ago because it was causing damage to neighbors fences, replaced it with the decorative gravel so I don’t have to weed as much. We even have some redwoods that shit on our yard from the communal area if it storms hard enough. Not an issue.
This invasive shit tree is an issue. It was planted 10+ years ago by the previous owners and ripped out once because they were moving. Some of the roots survived and now it’s back to a full ass tree and the current slumlord of a property owner refuses to pay anything towards maintainence even as it rips up patios and shits sticky sap everywhere. I want everything on my side of the line dead because nobody else gives a shit.

If the owner is truly neglectful you can talk to the city and potentially get the tree removed funded by a lein on their property. If your neighbor is uncooperative there are usually official channels to resolve this through.
If you go the vigilante route you might end up with a serious fine (also, it’s a dick move)
