There have been a lot of useful suggestions about how to deal with errant trees and their roots.
I have a situation where a neighbors fir trees like to send roots into my ribes berry patch. So every couple years I get out my narrow balling spade and dig a deep trench on my side of the property line, cutting off all the little "trespasser roots". A few of his trees showed some stress and signs of utter death, but my berry patch doesn't exist to feed his trees.
When I'm digging, I always fantasize about being smart and doing it with a rented trench digging machine! Fantasy makes the shoveling go better.
